Abstract

In the context of the new era, integrating the "craftsman spirit" into vocational undergraduate education is not only an essential requirement for fulfilling the fundamental mission of fostering virtue through education and promoting students' holistic development, but also a crucial measure to enhance students' professional competitiveness and support the national strategy of building a manufacturing powerhouse. As the global industrial landscape rapidly evolves, the demand for highly skilled professionals who possess both technical expertise and strong ethical foundations has never been greater. Using curriculum-based ideological and political education as a primary vehicle, this paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the significant importance of cultivating the "craftsman spirit" in vocational undergraduate education. It systematically identifies current shortcomings in this regard, such as the superficial integration of moral education, outdated pedagogical frameworks, and a lack of synergy between theoretical instruction and practical application. To address these challenges, the study proposes a series of comprehensive practical approaches. These include refining the top-level design of educational programs, deeply leveraging ideological and political elements within core curricula, innovating practical teaching models through industry-academia collaboration, and fostering a vibrant campus culture that genuinely honors craftsmanship and dedication. Ultimately, this research aims to provide robust theoretical support and actionable practical guidance for nurturing outstanding, future-ready talents equipped with the "craftsman spirit" in vocational undergraduate education, thereby contributing to sustainable economic growth and industrial modernization.
