Abstract: The major of Ideological and Political Education aims to cultivate versatile talents with good political theoretical literacy, ideological and moral qualities, and scientific and cultural qualities, shouldering the important mission of promoting the dissemination and practice of socialist core values. History courses play a foundational, supportive, and value-guiding role in this major. However, there are currently three major problems: the structural disconnection between history courses and ideological and political education, the hierarchical disconnection between general history teaching and thematic research, and the functional disconnection between the transmission of historical knowledge and the internalization of values. In response, this study, through historical literature review and logical argumentation, proposes that collaborative efforts in curriculum system restructuring, teaching method innovation, and value goal integration are needed. This will enhance students' in-depth historical understanding of Marxist theory and its achievements in the Chinese context, strengthen their ability to analyze real-world issues using the materialist conception of history, cultivate their "sense of history," solidify their political orientation, reinforce the "Four Confidences," and nurture ideological and political education talents for the new era.
