"Spiritual Adult" and Innovation of Ideological and Political Education in Colleges and Universities

Whether college students can grow up to be "spiritual adults" is directly related to their healthy growth. The implementation of "spiritual adult" education in the ideological and political education in colleges and universities should give play to university spirits'osmosis in college students' spiritual cultivation, to the impact of classroom teaching on the improvement of college students' humanistic quality, to the impact of social practice on college students' self-development and self-discipline, to the university counselors'role of teaching students how to be mature and useful, and to campus culture's deifying influence on cultivation of the students' virtues. The Soviet educator Sukhomlynsky once said in his book How to Cultivate a Real Man,"The ultimate goal of education is to convey breath of life to people." He also said,"Real people have a spirit-the spirit of human beings. The spirit of these people will be expressed in their faith, feeling, will and pursuit, in their attitude towards others and themselves, in their obvious love and hate, and in aspects such as their good at finding their dreams and working for them." However, modern education has become a tool for training professional skills to a large extent. Knowledge has become the "ruler" while people have become the "tools" and "products". College students are the future of the country as well as the hope of the nation. As for workers in colleges and universities, it is their unshrinkable responsibility to have the country's future in mind, to face the university campus, to delve deep into the connotations of "spiritual adult" and the relationship between "spiritual adult" and "innovation of ideological and political education", to analyze the particular mission of "spiritual adult" in ideological and political education in colleges and universities, and to study ways of carrying out "spiritual adult" education in the ideological and political education in colleges and universities, all of which can not be delayed even moment.
