Evolution, Essence and Boundary of “Ke-Cheng Si-Zheng”: A Rising Reform in Chinese Higher Education

“Si-Zheng Ke-Cheng”, the traditional ideological and political education has encountered new challenges and problems in Chinese higher education. As a rising reform in the New Era, “Ke-Cheng Si-Zheng”, which means that all courses carry ideological and political education, and ideological and political education is embodied in all courses, was originated from Shanghai and then promoted from local practice and exploration to a national strategic deployment in 2018. However, no consensus on the definition of “Ke-Cheng Si-Zheng” has been reached in the academic and practical circles. It can be regarded as not only a new educational concept and an educational method for the whole teaching process but also a type of teaching systems and educational practice activities. In the teaching practice of Chinese Higher Education, “Ke-Cheng Si-Zheng” must be embodied in Non-ideological and political theory courses, and ideological and political theory courses also need more creativity to better carry out ideological and political education.
