Research on Innovative Implementation Pathways of Ideological and Political Education in Junior Colleges under the Background of Industry-Education Integration

Abstract

With the rapid expansion of industry-education integration in vocational education, ideological and political education in junior colleges must move beyond single-channel classroom delivery and become embedded in school-enterprise collaborative training systems. This study uses questionnaires, interviews, and structural equation modeling to examine the current status and innovation pathways of ideological education in junior colleges under industry-education integration. The results show that current practice is limited by weak practical relevance, insufficient student engagement, and incomplete institutional mechanisms. The depth of school-enterprise collaboration and the degree of enterprise culture penetration are found to be the strongest drivers of improved educational outcomes. Three implementation models are identified: curriculum-based ideological education integrated with workplace practice, dual-mentor collaborative instruction, and enterprise-context immersive education. These models outperform conventional approaches and provide empirical references for systematic educational innovation. The study also highlights the need for digital platforms and data-supported evaluation in collaborative vocational education systems.
