Abstract

In the context of imparting education pertaining to ideals and convictions, higher vocational institutions frequently encounter the challenge of disjointed coursework, practical components, and cultural immersion. This disconnection has the potential to directly compromise the efficacy of educational outcomes. In order to address this issue, an attempt has been made to construct a three-dimensional framework integrating “curriculum, practice, and culture”. The overarching objective of this framework is threefold: firstly, to consolidate value recognition through curricula; secondly, to drive the transformation of knowledge into action via practice; and thirdly, to foster an immersive atmosphere through culture. The objective of the present text is to align the objectives and ensure the coherence of content across these three dimensions, ultimately forming a synergistic whole. A case study of Nantong, Jiangsu, systematically organised local resources to demonstrate the region’s status as the ‘First City of Modern China’, drawing on the city’s red history, the spiritual legacy of Zhang Jian’s ’industrial patriotism’, and distinctive industrial cultures. Utilising these resources as a foundation, we embark on a subsequent exploration of concrete pathways through which these resources can be transformed into educational content. These include the design of integrated theoretical-practical curricula, the establishment of platforms that foster unity of knowledge and action, the cultivation of a subtly nurturing cultural environment, and the implementation of coordinated mechanisms to ensure synergistic objectives.
