Abstract

This study investigates Ideological and Political Education in the Curriculum (IPEC) in Chinese higher education, focusing on overcoming the ‘silo phenomenon’ in values education.Using Citespace, we analyzed literature from CNKI (2014–2024), identifying three thematic clusters: theoretical foundations, integration practices, and effectiveness evaluation. Findings reveal persistent challenges in bridging ideological and professional education, alongside a shift toward practical applications. The study proposes curriculum reforms and teacher training strategies to enhance IPEC’s impact, offering insights for educational policy and practice.
