Abstract
Curriculum-based and dedicated ideological-political courses are vital vehicles for university education, sharing the mission of fostering virtue through education. However, the "separation of two skins" persists, with both falling into dilemmas of "isolation" and "de-ideologization." From a "coupling" theory perspective, this paper analyzes the internal logic of shifting from "parallel" operation to "coupling." It explores collaborative mechanisms across four dimensions: goals, content, subjects, and institutions. Finally, it proposes pathways based on conceptual consensus, teacher collaboration, platform support, and evaluation-driven improvement, offering insights for constructing a "Greater Ideological and Political Education" pattern.
