Abstract: Practical teaching of ideological and political courses serves as a core component of ideological and political education for college students in the new era. Since the advent of the new era, research on practical teaching of college ideological and political courses has emerged as a prominent academic focus. A systematic review of existing studies reveals that scholarly attention centers on the following key domains: the foundational theoretical issues, the top-level design, the practical predicaments, the integration with modern information technology of practical teaching of college ideological and political courses; the practical teaching integrated development of ideological and political courses across primary, secondary, and tertiary education; practical teaching of ideological and political courses based on the "Grand Ideological and Political Course" framework; and innovative strategies of practical teaching of college ideological and political courses. However, gaps persist in the current literature, including insufficient theoretical depth, limited methodological diversity, and superficial exploration of core issues. To address these limitations and chart future directions, subsequent research should prioritize strengthening theoretical underpinnings and academic rigor, expanding interdisciplinary research perspectives and methodological toolkits, and adopting a problem-driven approach to deepen empirical and theoretical inquiry into core themes.
