ANALYZING THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN INTEGRATED CURRICULUM: A CASE STUDY OF THE 'COMMERCIAL BANK BUSINESS MANAGEMENT' COURSE

Abstract

Ideological and political education (IPE) plays a vital role in shaping the values and beliefs of college students. University IPE workers, along with administrative personnel and teaching assistants from various departments, work in tandem to cultivate students' core competencies and promote their holistic development. The implementation of integrated teaching in IPE goes beyond knowledge acquisition; it aims to foster students' core competencies and aligns with humanistic learning principles.

This approach respects students' subjectivity, integrates content that resonates with their interests and real-life experiences, and creates a conducive learning environment that ignites internal motivation. Such an approach is consistent with humanistic teaching concepts and enhances the effectiveness of IPE.

Scholars in the field have explored various aspects of IPE, from the impact of interdisciplinary IPEC in Biochemistry on students' value judgment to the examination of IPE policies in Israel, emphasizing Jewish identity. Additionally, in the context of Chinese higher education, the concept of "ideological and political curriculum" has emerged as a crucial component of IPE curriculum reform, highlighting the need for collaboration among various disciplines to enrich IPE quality.
