Research on Digital-Intelligent Construction Pathways for Integrating Teaching Spaces in Ideological and Political Courses Across Primary, Secondary, and Higher Education Institutions

Abstract

Against the backdrop of educational digital transformation, the integrated development of ideological and political courses across primary, secondary, and higher education has become a core initiative for fulfilling the fundamental mission of fostering virtue through education. As a vital arena for ideological and political education, the integrated construction of teaching spaces serves as a key lever for breaking down barriers between educational stages and achieving the spiral progression required in ideological and political course instruction. Historically, research on ideological and political education has predominantly focused on content and methodological innovation, relegating teaching spaces to the periphery due to their perception as mere "temporal appendages." This has resulted in developmental challenges characterized by fragmented physical spaces, unidirectional social spaces, and disembodied spiritual spaces. The iterative advancement of digital and intelligent technologies now provides the technical foundation for reconstructing and integrating teaching spaces, simultaneously charting new pathways for the integrated development of teaching spaces across primary, secondary, and tertiary levels. Grounded in the characteristics of the digital-intelligent era and drawing upon the spatial turn in educational research, this study takes the course "Ideological Ethics and Rule of Law" as a case example. It explores the intrinsic logic of digital-intelligent technology empowering the integrated development of teaching spaces across primary, secondary, and higher education institutions from three dimensions: practical motivations, core dimensions, and construction pathways. The study proposes a three-dimensional construction strategy to promote the integration of physical teaching spaces, the coordination of social teaching spaces, and the embodiment of spiritual teaching spaces. Ultimately, it establishes an integrated development system for ideological and political education teaching spaces characterized by "technology empowerment-spatial reconstruction -Relationship Reshaping-Value Sublimation" development system for the integrated teaching space of ideological and political courses, providing practical guidance for high-quality integrated development of such courses across all educational levels in the new era.
