fundamental philosophy of teaching ideological and political course should put more emphasis on practicalness and openness of teaching process,highlight the life-style teaching,and be student-based.It should manifest humanity,sense of life,practicalness and openness of class,attach more importance to combining disciplinary knowledge with theme of life,and try to integrate the basic concept and theory into theme of life.In addition,by concentrating on social and life problems that are concerned by students,it organizes teaching activity and fully implement objective of curriculum.Under such background,Situational Teaching Method attracts more and more attention of education researchers.Situational Teaching Method integrates the abstract theoretical knowledge into vivid situation through

practice”,“emphasizing infusion,ignoring share”.Student becomes “alive” and "active" in the ideological and political class.It not only can better reflect the new curriculum concept which is based on development of students but also improve degree of participation of students and stand out student's dominant position.As it were,Situational Teaching has opened up a new world for ideological and political education.Economic life,as the first content learned by senior high school students in ideological and political course,its teaching effect may directly affect student's interest in learning
