构建社会主义和谐社会、树立社会主义核心价值体系已成为高职院校思想政治课教学的重要内容。但在传统观念中认为思想政治教育和情感教育是不相容的,二者应该采用不同的教学方法,达到不同的教学目的。笔者认为,要使思想政治课达到提高学生整体思想素质,促进学生全面发展的目标,就必须在思想政治课中重视和运用情感教育。因此,研究高职院校思想政治教育中的情感教育具有现实的必要性和紧迫性。 Constructing a socialist harmonious society and establishing a socialist core value system have become an important part of the ideological and political teaching in higher vocational colleges. However, in the traditional view, ideological and political education and emotional education are incompatible, and the two should adopt different teaching methods to achieve different teaching purposes. In my opinion, to make the ideological and political lesson to improve students ’overall ideological quality and promote students’ all-round development, we must attach importance to and apply emotional education in ideological and political lessons. Therefore, it is necessary and urgent to study affective education in the ideological and political education in higher vocational colleges.
