Research on the Teaching Reform Path of Civic and Political Education in Financial Management Professional Course Based on Structural Equation Modeling

The concept of “course-based ideological and political education” represents a new requirement for university teachers in the contemporary era. By integrating this concept into professional courses, the latent educational functions of financial management courses can be fully leveraged to help students establish correct value systems, thereby achieving the unity of ‘teaching’ and “educating” through subtle course instruction. A questionnaire was designed to measure the factors influencing the effectiveness of ideological and political education in financial management courses. It was distributed and collected among college students at a certain college in City S. After conducting factor analysis on the questionnaire, structural equation modeling was applied to explore the factors influencing the development of financial management courses. The results showed that course implementation, teacher-related factors, student-related factors, and teacher-student interaction all have a positive impact on ideological and political education outcomes, with path coefficients of 0.168, 0.529, 0.188, and 0.168, respectively. Therefore, financial management faculty members in higher education institutions should actively engage in course-based ideological and political education reforms to enhance students' learning interest and classroom participation, thereby improving the effectiveness of course-based ideological and political education.
