自鸦片战争以后的一百七十多年来，中国从未像当下这样以日益增强的国家实力引发全世界的高度关注，人民生活也达到了前所未有的水平。这应当归功于改革开放以来中国共产党领导下的人民群众的中国特色社会主义实践。道路自信、理论自信、制度自信和文化自信正是对这场伟大的中国特色社会主义实践的经验总结和意义建构，“四个自信”统一于中国特色社会主义实践。 及时总结经验，全党和全国各族人民才能在正确的道路上坚定不移地走下去；及时建构意义，全党和全国人民才能统一思想和认识，凝心聚力实现伟大梦想。党的十九大明确指出，坚定“四个自信”对进一步推进中国特色社会主义伟大事业，实现“两个一百年”奋斗目标和中华民族伟大复兴的中国梦具有重大意义，并在报告中号召全党自觉增强“四个自信”,因而探索“四个自信”教育理论与实践具有十分重要的意义。尤其对于中国特色社会主义事业的建设者和接班人的大学生而言，能否牢固树立“四个自信”关系到社会主义事业能否长治久安，所以“四个自信”教育理论与实践研究是具有重要理论和应用价值的课题。本文尝试运用思想政治教育的学科视角去思考“四个自信”与思想政治教育的契合点以及开展“四个自信”教育的意义，并运用思政学科的方法论探索了“四个自信”教育的整体推进策略和具体路径。 当前大学生可接受的信息量巨大，接受信息的方式复杂多样，如何通过思想政治教育使“四个自信”入脑入心，高校思政工作者要与时俱进地选择“四个自信”教育的路径，整体上应做好以下四点：一是落实“以人为本”的教育理念，重视学生的主体性和创造性，坚持以人的全面自由发展为教育的最终目标，并把培养大学生的社会责任感和历史使命感作为重要任务；二是构建社会、高校、教师三位一体的“责任共同体”，在三者间形成必要的协同和配合；三是创新思政教育向国际化、现代化、大众化转变的实践形式，增加教育的说服力和感染力，给学生更好的教育体验；四是坚持科学化的学科科研和育人方向，一方面不断探寻理论本身的科学性，坚持对马克思主义真理的不懈追求，另一方面坚持以科学的态度对待社会舆论和不同的社会思潮，客观独立的思考，实事求是地分析。 通过“四个自信”教育，大学生群体中能够形成对建设中国特色社会主义的道路、理论，制度和文化的共识，有助于大学生的政治思想水平的提升，帮助其形成远大的人生理想和坚定的人生信念，进而有助于实现高校立德树人的培养目标。
