Abstract: The reform of ideological and political theory courses in the new era should not only focus on specific teaching links such as teacher quality and teaching methods, but also pay attention to breakthrough in the curriculum construction vision and innovation of curriculum system at the top-level design. Meanwhile, the reform should reposition the teaching concept and training goals with the "profound changes unseen in a century", promote curriculum teaching from "identity education" to "ability training", and shape students' ability to "approach the center of the world stage". The reform should also expand the curriculum system of the four compulsory courses and improve the teaching contents of ideological and political theory courses by strengthening the construction of ideological and political elective courses. By reforming the cultivation of graduate students majoring in Marxist theory, this reform need to expand the knowledge horizon, international horizon and historical horizon of future ideological and political teachers.
