Abstract

Against the backdrop of emerging engineering education development, this study addresses key challenges in ideological and political education within programming courses, such as misaligned objectives and one-dimensional teaching methods. Using the Python Programming course as a practical platform, the study integrates OBE (Outcome-Based Education) and PBL (Problem-Based Learning) as dual guiding philosophies. A four-dimensional framework for embedding ideological and political education is established, consisting of: reverse design at the objective level, contextual restructuring at the content level, dual-loop driving at the method level, and multi-dimensional assessment at the evaluation level. This framework enables deep integration of professional knowledge in the Python course with ideological and political education. Through reverse design, 12 ideological and political mapping points are identified, and eight representative teaching cases are developed, resulting in a replicable implementation framework and a case resource library for course-based ideological and political education. This study provides both a theoretical paradigm and practical pathways for resolving challenges in integrating ideological and political education into programming courses.
