Integration and Innovation: Collaborative Development Path of Interior Design Professional Courses and Ideological and Political Education

Abstract

In the current educational context, it is particularly important to cultivate both professional skills and ideological and political literacy. This paper explores the necessity of integrating interior design professional education with ideological and political education, including the challenges of content integration, the need for innovative teaching methods, the development of teachers' professional capabilities, and the enhancement of students' acceptance. Through literature review, case analysis, and effect evaluation, this research proposes a series of strategies and recommendations aimed at optimizing the teaching process and improving educational quality. These strategies include innovation in teaching content and methods, integration and optimization of teaching resources, professional development and training of teachers, policy support and environmental construction, student development guidance and services, and improvement of the curriculum evaluation system. The research results show that the integration of interior design professional education and ideological and political education can promote the comprehensive development of students, cultivating design talents with both professional skills and social responsibility. However, the research also has certain limitations, including the breadth of case analysis, the accuracy of evaluation tools, and the necessity of long-term tracking studies. Future research can further deepen these aspects, expand the scope of case analysis, improve evaluation methods, and conduct interdisciplinary cross-research. This research has important theoretical and practical significance for the integration of professional education and ideological and political education in higher education, providing useful reference and inspiration for relevant educational reforms.
