The Ethical Dimension and Value Guidance Mechanism of Moral Education in Colleges and Universities from the Perspective of Marxist Theory

Abstract

From the perspective of Marxist theory, this paper explores the ethical dimension of moral education in colleges and universities and the construction path of its value guidance system. Against the backdrop of the new era, the diversification of values and the rapid development of new media technologies have exposed moral education in colleges and universities to practical challenges such as the weakening of value identity and the disconnection between theory and practice. At present, the moral education work is also plagued by prominent problems including the superficial integration of moral education into curricula and inadequate effectiveness of practical transformation. On the basis of systematically sorting out existing relevant research findings, this paper puts forward targeted optimization strategies that integrate the core essence of Marxist ethics from four dimensions: the reconstruction of curriculum systems, the empowerment of practical education, the development of teaching faculty, and the innovation of educational carriers. These strategies are intended to provide theoretical and practical support for breaking the development predicament of moral education in colleges and universities and constructing a scientific value guidance system, thus helping colleges and universities fully implement the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education and cultivating new people of the era who are capable of shouldering the mission of national rejuvenation.
