Reviewing the evolution history of ideological and political education theory, while fully affirming that it has gradually formed its own research paradigm and achieved fruitful research results, we should also see that the construction of the theoretical system of ideological and political education is still more from the internal micro perspective, and the macro level of showing the sociality of ideological and political education is not enough, showing the shortcomings of focusing on static analysis and neglecting dynamic understanding, focusing on theoretical interpretation and neglecting practical care, and focusing on (internal) education and neglecting (external) society. Ideological and political education does not operate in isolation, but is related and restricted with the social system and other social systems. To grasp the operation logic of ideological and political education from the center to the periphery, we can start from three dimensions: the self-operation of ideological and political education, the interactive operation of ideological and political education and other systems, and the radiation of social operation on ideological and political education. Based on this, it is helpful to construct a more explanatory theoretical system of ideological and political education from the expansion of related elements, the coordination of operation forms, the diversity of operation modes and the scientific nature of operation evaluation.
