It points out that ideological and political education in courses is a necessary part of building a new round of first - class courses and majors, a necessary way to achieve the trinity teaching goal of "knowledge transfer, ability cultivation and value shaping" in the classroom, an inevitable standard for improving the "two - nature and one - degree" of teaching and creating excellent courses, an effective way to cultivate top - notch innovative talents, and a necessary preparation for high - quality completion of education and teaching assessment. At the same time, it points out the "four misunderstandings" in the current teaching practice, puts forward several suggestions for doing a good job in ideological and political education in courses, and combines some mathematics courses and statistics courses to give more than 20 cases of how to excavate and integrate ideological and political elements in teaching, providing inspiration in concepts and methods for teachers' teaching.
