Abstract

The digital transformation of education has expanded the boundaries of postgraduate education capacity, but it has also brought about technological sophistication in academic misconduct and reduced transparency in educational processes. This has created a disconnect between integrity education and traditional talent cultivation models. Consequently, this paper focuses on cultivating high-level applied talent in municipal universities by constructing an integrated educational framework centred on the “philosophy-mechanism-pathway” model. Guided by the 'Three-Dimensional Education' philosophy, the framework uses a data-driven operational mechanism that integrates value embedding and dynamic assessment. This enables the systematic design of an integrity education practice system that encompasses the entire talent development journey. Empirical validation from sample institutions demonstrates the efficacy of the framework in fostering the synergistic development of integrity literacy and professional competence. This provides a practical reference for peer institutions seeking to fulfil their fundamental mission of promoting virtue through education.
