Abstract

In the context of higher education in the new era, the core objective is to achieve "moral development and talent cultivation," leading to the integration of ideological education into courses. It aims at the deep integration of specialized courses with ideological education. However, the practical and innovative nature of the art and design discipline presents numerous challenges in value integration, including an imperfect system, insufficient resources, and a singular evaluation model. These issues create a "disconnect" between the two. This study analyzes the challenges of integrating ideological education into art and design courses and develops a "Three-Level, Five-Element Collaborative Education Model." The model emphasizes value cognition, ability development, and innovative contributions as core objectives, relying on the collaborative advancement of course integration, content optimization, organizational innovation, resource sharing, and a multi-dimensional evaluation mechanism. The study explores an innovative pathway for integrating moral education into course design and teaching. The research shows that this model enriches the theoretical framework of ideological education and effectively enhances students' professional abilities, social responsibility, and cultural confidence through practical activities, providing valuable insights for promoting educational reform in higher education.
