ABSTRACT

Course ideological and political education has emerged as a prominent feature in Chinese higher education. This study, grounded in time theory, provides a holistic and actionable framework aimed at engineering teachers' actions to deliver high-quality ideological and political education. Through literature review and qualitative analysis, the study identifies key components of the framework which include teachers' lifelong learning actions, conducting pedagogical research, and short-term classroom teaching practices. First of all, practical strategies for continuous learning are recommended: creating a personal learning roadmap, taking time to participate in professional and academic activities, and maintaining an open dialogue with students. Next, the process of pedagogical research can divide into three stages: primary research before a session, further research in a session, and evaluation and improvement after a session. Teachers should research teaching objects, define clear moral education objectives, and teaching methods and materials. Thoughtful structuring of the course contents, selection of resources, and design of assignments and assessments are crucial for high-quality ideological and political education. Finally, the study highlights four teachers' actions for integrating course ideological and political education into the entire process of class: (1)drawing support from online education platform,(2)adopting time-based teaching techniques in class,(3)applying effective teaching methods and balanced pacing, and (4)selecting relevant and resonant  teaching contents. The proposed framework ensures both theoretical depth and practical applicability.
