As the main body of moral education, counselors are the backbone of College Students’ Ideological and Political Education. Counselor work plays a key role. It is very important to improve the ideological and political quality of college students, to promote the reform and development of higher education, to maintain the stability of school and society and to promote the all-round development of college students. At present, as the first line of moral education workers in colleges and universities, counselors need to shift from a single experience to complex research, in order to meet the needs of College Students’ Ideological and Political Education in the new era. At first, this paper is based on the analysis of the present situation and analyzes the problems existing in the scientific research ability of college counselors from four aspects: the cognition of scientific research, the consciousness of scientific research, the spirit of scientific research, the relevant knowledge base and the scientific research environment. At last, the study puts forward the concrete countermeasures from four aspects: system guarantee, platform support, environmental pull and initiative promotion.
