Optimizing the Path of Marxist Theory Education in Higher Education from a Youth Perspective

Abstract

Marxist theory education serves as a fundamental pillar of ideological and political instruction in modern universities. This study employs a youth-oriented perspective to scrutinize the particular shortcomings in the pedagogy of Marxist theory within higher education settings. It uncovers prevalent problems such as belated acquisition of theoretical knowledge, insufficient comprehension, and inflexible teaching methodologies. The youth-oriented approach to Marxist theory education is an inevitable progression, propelled by the evolution of information technology; it embodies a fundamental requirement for the essence of Marxist theory education and aligns with the essential needs for the growth and development of the younger generation. Presently, universities confront three primary challenges: an incomplete educational framework, a dearth of educational platforms, and inadequacies within the teaching staff. In response to these challenges, this study proposes strategies aimed at reinforcing the contemporary theoretical education system, establishing modern educational platforms for theoretical instruction, enhancing teacher development in accordance with new-era requirements, and innovating pedagogical approaches for contemporary theoretical education. These proposals carry significant implications for the optimization of Marxist theory education within higher education institutions.
