ABSTRACT

This study focuses on the innovative application of the inquiry-based teaching method in the "Ideological and Moral and Legal Education" curriculum in colleges and universities. Through systematic analysis of its inherent compatibility with Marxist epistemology of practice and constructivism theory, it demonstrates the unique advantages of this method in promoting students' realization of the transformation of "knowing, believing, and acting." The study constructs an implementation path with problem situation design, teaching process organization, and typical case development as the core, and deeply explores solutions to key issues such as teacher role transformation, construction of a diversified evaluation mechanism, and integration of teaching resources. The results show that the inquiry-based teaching method can effectively improve the teaching effectiveness and educational function of ideological and political courses by stimulating students' subjectivity and cultivating critical thinking, providing theoretical support and a practical paradigm for the teaching reform of ideological and political courses in colleges and universities in the new era.
