Up to now, the higher vocational colleges in China have developed rapidly for more than 10 years. More and more higher vocational colleges have sprung up, and they have accounted for more than half of the total higher education. The number of the students also accounted for more than half of the number of the college students. Higher vocational colleges both in number and the number of students has occupied half of higher education in our country, therefore, to strengthen and improve the students’ ideological and political education in higher vocational colleges is imminent. Good or bad of higher vocational college students' ideological and moral quality will directly relate to the success or failure of socialist modernization construction in China. Based on the analysis of the current higher vocational college students’ ideological and moral status, and the reasons of these problems, this article further discussed what are the effective ways should be taken to enhance the actual effect of students’ ideological and political education in higher vocational colleges under the new situation.

1. the higher vocational college students’ ideological and moral status quo

1.1 Independent consciousness, enterprising consciousness and utilitarianism, pragmatism coexist.

At present, along with the speed of economic globalization speeding up, our country is further expanding opening to the outside world, and constantly improving the socialist market economy. This makes the employment channels and our country's social economic elements develop towards more and more diverse directions, and social competition is increasingly fierce. Under the influence of the external environment, people's thinking activities are becoming more independent, changeable, its differences are also gradually enhancing. This is very good to cultivate and set up the college students' independent consciousness and innovative consciousness, etc. However, in the school when they really met the competition of interests such as application for scholarships and grants, to join the Chinese Communist Party, etc., they showed strong utilitarian. Today, with the rapid development of market economy, people's material desires expansion, and pursuit of profit maximization, their hearts are gradually filled with only seeing the results, not the process of thinking. And, the fear is that as the builders and successors of the motherland in the future, college students also began to view everything as a measure of the material benefits, and their values are distorted, spiritual pursuit and commitment for them is no longer important. At present, the ideology of college students has been preference for utilitarianism and pragmatism. More and more intense social competition and increasing influence of network media make them began to learn how to foothold in the society. To attract more attention of the teachers and school leaders, they express and improve themselves in the school all the time. When the collective interests or the interests of others and personal interests conflict, they often put personal interests in the first place, and meet their own needs first as far as possible . They normally wouldn't do the things that do not benefit them. However, in order to gain their own interests, some students are occasionally at the cost of damage to the interests of others. They ignored the human and the cultivation of social virtue during the most wonderful moment in the life.

1.2 Unitary of value guidance and the diversiform of value orientation coexist.

Along with the further implementation of the opening-up policy, western values has been penetrated into our country, and the establishment of the socialist market economic system has made people recognize maximizing the interests and differences in the economic interest of the members, and the principle of equivalent exchange got popularity. Under the influence of double factors at home and abroad, patriotism, socialism, collectivism, the arduous struggle, as the main body of unitary value guidance suffered a huge impact, and that makes extremely profound changes have taken place in people's values. Under such a background, when the higher vocational college students go out of school, facing the outside world full of temptation, their value orientation will be subtle influenced. In the face of the trade-off between the individual and collective, between rights and obligations, between competition and cooperation, their value orientation presents diversified trend, and they began to appear deviation, even errors. They will gradually show wrong value orientation such as “Pay and reward should be equal. ” and “Heaven destroys those who don't look out for themselves” etc. And some people will damage the interests of others for their own interests. This kind of people lack value goals and value orientation.

1.3 Democratic consciousness, equal consciousness and ideal, faith coexist.

Today's higher vocational college students grow safely in the age of rising national status, rich material and democratic legal system. Such an environment caused great effect on them, and made them set up strong democracy consciousness, independent consciousness and equality consciousness. However, many students' political enthusiasm is not high, although the students actively want to close to the Party organization and submit to Party membership application, most of them lack the most basic understanding to the party, and don't know the real reason to join the Party. Many students even hold the utilitarian attitude to join the Party. They think they will find their jobs easier after becoming a Party member. Thus, when they meet the difficulties of going to school, high housing prices and employment difficulty, they will become confused, unable to identify the right direction, and then show the bad emotion and action.

Higher vocational college students’ state of mind illustrates that the ideological and political education for students in higher vocational colleges do not meet national goals, and still need to be strengthened and attached importance to.
