Abstract:

The scientific literacy level of young students in China remains relatively low, making university-level popularization education urgent. Meanwhile, the integration of ideological and political education in higher education has gained momentum and shown significant results, yet several challenges persist in its implementation. This paper explores whether university science popularization and ideological and political education can progress hand-in-hand within the classroom. It argues for the alignment of goals between science popularization and ideological and political education in nurturing talent, highlighting their interrelatedness. The paper presents a teaching practice model for organic chemistry at our university that emphasizes science popularization, examining aspects such as the philosophy of science popularization, teaching objectives, creative outputs, achievements in popular science, ideological and political education effectiveness etc. It posits that both science popularization and ideological and political education are beneficial components of higher education, rooted in university classrooms, and can work synergistically to cultivate high-quality young talent. The deep integration of these elements aids students in achieving the unity of knowledge and action and provides a higher-level assessment model for evaluating the construction of ideological and political education. The teaching practices have yielded positive outcomes, offering new insights and paradigms for ideological and political education in organic chemistry and serving as a reference for advancing chemistry popularization education in universities.

Key words: University science popularization, Curriculum ideological and political, Organic chemistry, Teaching practice, Popular science creation, Construction effect
