ABSTRACT: Against the backdrop of “Greater Ideological and Political Education”, the systematic integration of ideological and political elements into classroom teaching has become a core educational task for colleges and universities. However, college physics courses are characterized by high abstraction and long logical chains. The traditional “story + slogan” model of ideological and political instruction often leads to issues such as rigid “labeling” and disconnection from real life, resulting in low student engagement. Based on situated cognition theory, this paper defines four core concepts: life-oriented integration, three-stage six-dimension, value identity, and perception of ideological and political elements. It constructs a theoretically robust “Three-Stage and Six-Orientation” pathway for integrating life-based ideological and political elements into courses, clarifies the research design, implementation procedures and evaluation methods, and conducts a two-academic-year non-random group comparative teaching experiment. Multi-dimensional data are collected through standardized assessment tools to distinguish the educational effects of traditional teaching and ideological and political design, and to objectively verify the teaching reform. The results show that the introduction of life-aligned ideological and political elements can significantly strengthen students’ value identity and academic performance while maintaining the depth of knowledge teaching, providing a replicable and scalable framework for ideological and political teaching in science and engineering courses.
