Research Progress on the Effectiveness Evaluation of "Curriculum-Based Ideological and Political Education"

Background: Curriculum-based ideological and political education (CBIPE) serves as a pivotal measure to fulfill the fundamental task of fostering students' moral character.

Objective: To comprehend the progress in research on the effectiveness evaluation of CBIPE, aiming to offer insights for enhancing teaching and educational practices in universities.

Methods: We searched for relevant articles over the past 20 years on databases such as CNKI, Wanfang, Baidu Scholar, Google, and PubMed, using keywords like "university curriculum-based ideological and political education + evaluation," "university curriculum-based ideological and political education +implementation challenges," and "university curriculum-based ideological and political education + optimization strategies."

Results: Previous studies have indicated that the theoretical foundation of the effectiveness evaluation of CBIPE is extensive and profound. However, it is imperative to adhere to principles such as multi-stakeholder participation, multi-dimension content, equal emphasis on process and outcomes, and a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. Nevertheless, current research still faces challenges such as incomplete evaluation content, inconsistent evaluation standards, and singular evaluation methods, making it difficult for evaluation results to reflect the actual effectiveness of CBIPE.

Conclusion: Future research should further explore the dynamic nature of the effectiveness evaluation of CBIPE, focus on the long-term effects, and adapt the evaluation system according to disciplinary contexts.
