Research on Curriculum Ideological and Political Education in Architectural Programs under the Background of Urban Micro-renewal: Taking the Principles of Interior Design Course as an Example

This study investigates the crucial role of integrating curriculum ideological and political education within architectural education, specifically in the context of China's urban micro-renewal. The necessity of this integration is explored, focusing on its potential to cultivate well-rounded professionals. Using the "Principles of Interior Design" course as a case study, we analyzed existing approaches to curriculum ideological and political integration, identifying both strengths and limitations. The analysis revealed significant challenges, including insufficient content integration between ideological and political elements and professional knowledge, weak evaluation mechanisms, and a lack of diverse teaching approaches. To address these shortcomings, we propose innovative strategies: organically integrating ideological and political elements within the teaching content, project-based learning, and combining design competitions with social service. These strategies aim to not only enhance professional competence but also foster social responsibility and cultural identity, ultimately aligning with the educational goal of " fostering morality and cultivating talents".
