Based on teaching practices in ideological and political education at Hainan Vocational University of Science and Technology, the study connects selected knowledge points from courses such as Ideology, Morality and Rule of Law and Outline of Modern Chinese History, while drawing on specific teaching cases from undergraduate programs in Stomatological Technology, Pharmacy, Big Data and Accounting, and Early Childhood Education taught by the author in recent years.
