As an important embodiment of socialist core values in the field of professional practice, the craftsman spirit of the new era embodies value connotations such as dedication and commitment, striving for perfection, innovation and creativity, and a profound sense of responsibility. Applied universities bear the important mission of cultivating high-quality applied talents to meet modern industrial demands. Integrating the craftsman spirit into ideological and political course teaching is an important path for fulfilling the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education and for aligning talent cultivation with the development needs of national industries. At present, the integration of the craftsman spirit into ideological and political course teaching in applied universities still faces practical problems such as insufficient value guidance, shallow curriculum integration, and inadequate transformation into practice, which constrains the effective exercise of the educational function of the craftsman spirit. On this basis, this paper explores practical approaches from the aspects of strengthening value guidance, deepening curriculum integration, and improving the practical system. These strategies aim to promote the transformation of the craftsman spirit from conceptual cognition to value identification and from classroom education to professional practice, thereby providing a solid reference for cultivating applied talents of the new era who possess a strong sense of responsibility, an innovative spirit, and excellent professional competence.References
