ABSTRACT: Internationalization has become a strategic policy priority for many
Chinese universities. The Chinese government pushes for extending the inclusion
of ideology and political education (IPE), also called as “curriculum
ideological and political education (CIPE)” in China, into all types of
courses. Creating a course that has both international and national qualities
helps support the development of students with both national morality and
global aptitude. The research on how to make an internationalized and
culturally relevant is, however, lacking. Chinese intangible cultural heritage
is rich in philosophies and principles on moral and political values, which is
beneficial for raising students’ levels of mindfulness. This research examines
six approaches to designing CIPE and carrying out creative teaching for
professional instruction after examining the current frustration with CIPE in
Chinese. We want to show how to make a course worldwide and culturally relevant
through practical teaching experience, using the interaction design course “Smart
Handicrafts International Workshop” as an
example. To revitalize the cultural heritage and advance Chinese traditional
culture, the teaching team integrates intelligent interactive technology with
Guangcai porcelain culture, one of China’s intangible cultural heritages that
was born in Guangzhou, China. The teaching team has attained successful
teaching outcomes through taking creative teaching for more than 6 years while
providing practical teaching experience.
