Abstract
Guided by the fundamental mission of fostering virtue and nurturing talent in higher education in the new era, curriculum-based ideological and political education (CIPE) has become an important direction for the reform of college teaching and education. Taking the course Methods of Social Survey Research as a case study, and combining the first six chapters of the curriculum, this paper explores effective ways to integrate ideological and political education into specialized courses. Based on the instructor’s personal experiences and real-world research cases, it discusses how to naturally embed ideological and political elements into the entire teaching process from six aspects: course introduction, topic selection and design, survey planning, sampling methods, measurement of social phenomena, and questionnaire design. The study shows that through case-based introduction, situational teaching, and practice-oriented education, students’ understanding and application of professional knowledge can be enhanced, while their social responsibility, patriotism, and moral awareness can also be effectively strengthened. This paper aims to provide reference for the implementation of CIPE in university specialized courses, and to promote the organic integration of knowledge transmission and value guidance.
