TEACHING REFORM OF SOCIALIST POLITICAL ECONOMY WITH CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS: THEORETICAL INNOVATIONS AND PRACTICAL APPROACHES

This paper examines the current status, challenges, and strategies for teaching reform of Socialist Political Economy with Chinese Characteristics (SPECC) in higher education institutions. Drawing on extensive literature review and case analysis, it explores the theoretical foundations, pedagogical innovations, and implementation pathways for comprehensive teaching reform. The study identifies key challenges including content fragmentation, methodological limitations, faculty development constraints, and student engagement difficulties. The paper proposes a multi-dimensional reform framework encompassing content system reconstruction centered on "new quality productive forces," innovative teaching methodologies integrating digital technologies with interactive pedagogies, and comprehensive evaluation systems. Through international comparative analysis and case studies of successful reforms, the research highlights the dialectical relationship between theoretical innovation and teaching practice as fundamental to effective reform. The findings contribute to SPECC disciplinary construction and broader economics education reform while offering practical strategies for enhancing teaching effectiveness. The paper concludes by identifying research limitations and proposing future directions for continued improvement of SPECC teaching quality.
