Abstract

In the New Era, ideological and political education within Chinese higher education institutions encounters unprecedented opportunities alongside complex structural challenges. The strategic proposal of the "Great Ideological and Political Course" fundamentally transcends the conventional limitations of traditional classroom-based instruction. It strongly emphasizes the comprehensive integration of diverse educational subjects, multifaceted pedagogical resources, and dynamic learning scenarios to foster holistic student development. Establishing a scientifically rigorous and highly efficient collaborative education mechanism is absolutely crucial for enhancing the overall effectiveness of moral and civic education in contemporary colleges and universities. Drawing upon a detailed assessment of the current landscape of ideological and political education, this paper systematically analyzes prominent existing deficiencies. These include the severe fragmentation of educational resources, a notable insufficiency in cross-departmental administrative collaboration, and an overreliance on singular, outdated educational carriers. To address these critical bottlenecks, this study comprehensively explores innovative construction pathways for a robust collaborative education mechanism. Specifically, it investigates strategic interventions across four primary dimensions: the enhancement of multi-subject collaboration, the systematic integration of diverse educational resources, the advanced construction of digital and physical pedagogical platforms, and the establishment of a comprehensive institutional guarantee system. Ultimately, this research aims to provide substantial theoretical insights and practical references for promoting the high-quality, sustainable development of university ideological and political education in a rapidly evolving academic environment.
