Random education: a new solution in the new era ■ Feng Yi, Pang Shuangshuang, Liu Cheng Random education is a common form of Ideological and political education at the grass-roots level, which is not easily limited by objective conditions such as time and place. "Three or five minutes is not too short, a few words are not too few, and you can speak when standing and walking." grassroots leaders often say that random education is prominently reflected in the word "fast" and the word "live". During the war years, our army often "encouraged while walking, fought and publicized at the same time". At present, the army is in the critical period of actual combat training and military training preparation. The training intensity is high, the task conversion is fast, and the safety pressure is heavy. This requires that grass-roots leaders must have the excellent ability to find, analyze and solve problems in time. How to do a good job in random education, inject new vitality and vitality into Ideological and political education and promote the construction of combat effectiveness is not only an old proposition faced by every grass-roots military leader, but also a new topic to be solved urgently. Random education is not "random education" Song Yancheng, a sergeant of the fifth company of a synthetic regiment of the southern Xinjiang Military Region, was full of grievances. The man, nearly 1.9 meters tall, was crying in his eyes. The cause of the matter was a mobile phone check not long ago. Instructor Cheng Guangjie found that several comrades in arms had large transfer records in their mobile phones, and the recipients pointed to the same person - Song Yancheng. Considering several online gambling problems reported by his superiors recently and song Yancheng's interest in playing cards, Cheng Guangjie quietly kept an eye on it. Sure enough, Cheng Guangjie found a lot of "clues" from Song Yancheng in those days: he frequently applied to use his mobile phone and avoided the people around him. He didn't work hard during the day and was a little listless Therefore, Cheng Guangjie "interviewed" Song Yancheng. This makes song Yancheng both wronged and depressed. It turned out that song Yancheng had a sudden change at home and had to borrow money from his comrades in arms to tide over the difficulties. He used his mobile phone to avoid everyone because he was embarrassed. He was listless because he lost sleep all night Although the words opened, Cheng Guangjie also made a solemn apology to song Yancheng, the thorn in his heart can not "eliminate the pain" for a while and a half. At that time, they were always embarrassed to meet. The wrong way of education makes simple things complicated, and excessive care will also bring trouble. Zou Gang, the instructor of feibu company, encountered such a thing. Corporal Li Jiang has always had a "military academy dream". For a period of time, he spent almost every night studying. He has been doing well in the final examination, but he did not play well in the formal examination and was unknown in the list. In order to avoid Li Jiang's ideological problems, Zou Gang talked to him every once in a while, encouraged him with some excellent soldiers around him from time to time, and took advantage of opportunities such as late naming. Excessive attention made Li Jiang feel uncomfortable. Late one night, he knocked on Zou Gang's door. "Instructor, you put a lot of pressure on me. Please don't pay attention to me anymore." Li Jiang's words stunned Zou gang. "I'm kind-hearted, but Li Jiang doesn't appreciate it." Zou Gang doesn't understand. Is it because it's more and more difficult to bring soldiers now, or is there a problem with educational methods? One side is not distracted to remind education, the other is subjective excessive concern. Du Hantang, the instructor of the firepower battalion, analyzed the common problems of the two: without understanding and carrying out education at will based on subjective experience, it seems to be for the sake of the officers and soldiers, but in fact it "Hurts" the hearts of the officers and soldiers. The Political Work Office of the regiment conducted a questionnaire survey on the development of random education. The results show that some grass-roots military leaders blindly adopt the way of "I tell you, you listen" and do not pay attention to understanding the needs of officers and soldiers, which is difficult to arouse emotional resonance; Some blindly reason, do not pay attention to and solve practical difficulties, and do ideological work in vain; Some are just like "shouting slogans", which often means "correct treatment" and "raising awareness", with high tone, empty content and rigid form. After receiving the analysis results of the questionnaire, Jin Xin, director of the Political Work Office of the regiment, expressed his concern: at present, some random education is too casual, and sometimes the effect is counterproductive. Jin Xin once took advantage of the opportunity to come to the door to listen to four companies to carry out random education on current affairs hot spots. Some words hit the key, or guide or warn, and the education effect was very good; Some of them were too late to get to the point. They spoke eloquently, and the officers and soldiers were confused. "Once random education is too far from the topic, I can't listen to it," Jin Xin said. Behind the randomness is the educational ability of "not online" Du Hantang, instructor of the firepower battalion, found that sometimes some company and platoon cadres did not pay due attention to random education - some thought that random education could be adopted in any way; Some people think that random education solves some small problems, and less practice has little impact The one-sided understanding of random education affects the effectiveness of random education in grass-roots companies to a certain extent. As the retirement season approached, Zhang Tao, the instructor of the support company, found that Li Dehong, the fourth level sergeant, was in a low working state. As an armor technician, he seemed to be less interested in his work since he studied the retirement policy. In the past, Zhang Tao will solve the problem through individual heart to heart talks and in-depth interpretation of the retirement policy. Due to the heavy training task at that time, Zhang Tao chose to gather all the soldiers who had completed their service this year for unified education. To Zhang Tao's surprise, Li Dehong was angered by "some old sergeants" in his mouth. Li Dehong felt that the instructor did not give face, worked hard for the company for 16 years, and was established as a "negative model" when he was about to retire from the army. Other comrades in arms also looked at each other and didn't understand what the instructor was going to do "Some company and platoon cadres don't properly control the timing and content of random education." Du Hantang said, "sometimes they delay to tell what happens in the morning, or" save "a week's problems for the weekend. Although they are well prepared, missing the best time will greatly reduce the awareness of officers and soldiers." Behind the "casual" is the educational ability of "not online". Du Hantang found that some grass-roots military leaders have "upside down experience" - compared with the rich social experience of officers and soldiers before joining the army in the new era, the growth experience of many grass-roots officers is relatively simple. Wang Dongchen, instructor of the chemical prevention company of the project, has a deep understanding of this. After graduating from high school, he was admitted to the military academy, and then came to the army. Some time ago, a trendy shopping software quietly rose in the company, and the subsequent trend of comparison once made Wang Dongchen very vigilant. One day later, he carried out a random education around the concept of consumption. Unexpectedly, when checking the shop that night, he heard some comrades in arms' different views. "In what age, I still talk about this. How to use my own allowance is my freedom." this fell to my ears, and Wang Dongchen was very unhappy. He wanted to argue on the spot, but for a moment he didn't know what to say, so he had to give up. In fact, Wang Dongchen is recognized as a good educator in the regiment. His teaching has been rated as "excellent teaching plan" by the regiment for many times. He compares big class counseling with random education: big class education has sufficient preparation time. Even in the face of unfamiliar contents, as long as there are sufficient materials or ask experienced comrades in arms, the teaching purpose can be basically achieved; Random education highlights the "fast" in time and the "accurate" in time, and will fall into the trouble of uncertainty most of the time. The key of random education is "adaptability" In an interview with the regiment, many grass-roots leaders coincidentally mentioned a plateau training. That year, the army went to the snowy plateau with an altitude of more than 5000 meters to carry out practical training. Many officers and soldiers were exhausted after several days of long-distance maneuvers. To this end, Xu Yuanzhi, instructor of the second howitzer company, made a brief mobilization and told the battle story of the advance company in Tibet in the past - 136 officers and soldiers successfully planted the five-star red flag on the Ali plateau by crossing Daban and glacier only relying on mules and horses. This just right random education quickly inspired everyone's fighting spirit. Everyone clenched their teeth and finally completed the task within the scheduled time. Recalling that time, Xu Yuanzhi sighed: in a difficult environment, I fought with everyone every day. I share many of my comrades in arms' ideas. Naturally, the emotion in education is more sincere and the content is more targeted. "During the plateau training, the main way to carry out ideological and political education is random education." Xu Jiameng, the instructor of the first howitzer company, introduced that he had talked with everyone in the temporarily built stone bunker, mobilized everyone on the way through the radio, and corrected the problems just happened in the company in the storm and snow Why does the "vivid" random education in plateau training become "flat and light" after returning to the camp? "At that time, I spent more time with my comrades in arms." Xu Yuanzhi said, "on the plateau, many comrades in arms came to me. Basically, I knew what they were going to say without talking. Obviously, it was not the case when I returned to the camp." Cheng Guangjie has the same view. After the last "Oolong" incident, he paid more attention to looking at problems from the perspective of officers and soldiers in his daily work. He found that the change of perspective not only brought him closer to his comrades in arms, but also significantly improved the effectiveness of education. "In the final analysis, we didn't grasp the characteristics of random education." Dong Fei, political commissar of the regiment, analyzed that the key to random education is to adapt to the situation, which requires grass-roots leaders to be prepared and develop according to the times. Many educators don't realize this and unilaterally use random education as a means, which fundamentally restricts the quality and effect of random education. Perhaps the voice from the soldier is more telling. In the eyes of Wang Xing, a first-class soldier of the sixth company of Zhuangbu, random education is late naming and heart to heart talk. Both are daily systems. As for other methods, Wang Xing thought for a long time and didn't say why. According to fan houchao, director of the division's publicity section, there are not a few grass-roots officers and soldiers with the same view. "Random education should be integrated into daily training, daily life and various activities to achieve the effect of moistening things silently," fan houchao said. Having been in the army for 20 years, he has his own view on random education - when the grass-roots military leaders are unable to find the starting point, speak out the pertinence and use the bad living methods, random education becomes a "passive" acceptance for the educated, which naturally makes it reasonable for the officers and soldiers to resist and get bored. Practice the hard skills of random education At an education preparation meeting, Jin Xin, director of the Political Work Office of the regiment, made an analogy: random education is like an "encounter". "If you want to fight this battle well, practicing basic skills is the first step that leaders need to take," Jin Xin said. Last month, instructor Xu Long adjusted from the support company to the assault vehicle company. When he came to the new company, he started from being familiar with the "military situation files". Through general understanding and individual heart to heart talks, he quickly mastered the basic personal and family information of each officer and soldier in the company, and became a person who knows the soldiers and understands them. In dealing with the contradictions between his comrades in arms, Xu long talked with them respectively according to their different personalities and family environment characteristics, talked about the pattern and style of the veterans, and talked about the facts and feelings with the recruits. In a few words, he hit the key of the problem. In this regard, Xu Long said with deep feeling: "random education is' one key opens one lock '. If a soldier leader doesn't know the soldier, it's like a locksmith who doesn't know how to unlock the lock and can't poke his heart, it will backfire." transport
