A Study on the Practical Path of Integrating “Tracing the Source and Footprints” into Youth Theoretical Lectures in Universities from the Perspective of School-Local Collaboration
Abstract
Youth theoretical lectures in universities are a crucial link in ensuring the innovative theories of the Party are understood and embraced by the younger generation. Currently, this work faces practical dilemmas such as content disconnection, formal homogenization, and a weak sense of engagement among youth. “Tracing the Source and Footprints” , as a methodology emphasizing the triple coupling of historical logic, theoretical logic, and practical logic, offers a new perspective to solve these problems. This paper, grounded in the macro-perspective of school-local collaboration, deeply explores the intrinsic connection between “Tracing the Source and Footprints” and youth theoretical lectures, and systematically constructs a practical path model covering four key elements: subjects, content, carriers, and collaboration. The study argues that by integrating the theoretical research advantages of universities with the practical resource endowments of localities, and by building a closed-loop framework of “Tracing Regional Resources — School-Local Collaborative Transformation — Youth Theoretical Identification,” we can effectively enhance the depth, warmth, and efficacy of theoretical lectures. This promotes the transition of youth from passive recipients of theory to firm believers and active practitioners, providing a valuable paradigm for ideological and political work in universities in the new era.
