Theoretical Construction and Practical Strategies of the “Four-Dimensional Integrated” Curriculum Ideology and Politics Teaching Model for Urban Geography
Strengthening the construction of curriculum ideology and politics is a key initiative for higher education institutions to fulfill the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education in the new era. From three dimensions, including disciplinary attributes, value logic, and cognitive laws, this paper sorts out the internal logic behind the construction of the “Four-Dimensional Integrated” curriculum ideology and politics model for Urban Geography. Based on the curriculum content, it constructs a design framework for this teaching model. Finally, from the four perspectives of teaching content, teaching methods, practical teaching and evaluation mechanism, it puts forward operable in-depth collaborative practical paths under the “Four-Dimensional Integrated” curriculum ideology and politics model, providing references for advancing the goals of fostering virtue through education and cultivating core literacy in geography.
