Cultural Heritage and the Integrated Construction of an Ideological and Political Education Community across Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Schools: A Mixed-Method Study Based on Multi-Stakeholder Perceptions in Jilin Province

Abstract

China's plan to integrate ideological and political (IP) education across all school levels supports the broader goal of fostering virtue. Three problems stand out: weak connections between stages, poor resource sharing, and shallow use of local culture. This study focuses
on Jilin Province. We use surveys of multiple stakeholder groups plus action research to see whether regional culture can help build an IP
education community. Results show that Jilin's IP education works fairly well. Local culture has been integrated into teaching, and homeschool-society collaboration has started to form. But problems remain. Practical activities are insufficient. Cultural transformation stays on the
surface. Connections across educational stages are weak. Based on these results, we propose a cultural acculturationsubject synergy model.
