The author believes that integrating ideological and political education elements into the teaching of “Social Security Studies” helps students gain a deep understanding of the political and social significance of social security, further enhancing the educational function of course-based ideological and political education. This approach improves students’ ideological and political literacy, guides them toward the correct values, and strengthens their sense of responsibility. This paper takes the practical teaching of “Social Security Studies” as an example to explore effective paths for incorporating ideological and political education elements into public administration courses, aiming to provide practical insights with reference value for the ideological and political teaching in public administration courses, and to improve the educational quality of these courses.
