As an important subject of ideological construction and action guidance for college students in our country, ideological and political education encounters an imbalanced development between its theoretical knowledge and practical ability. CDIO is a systemic logic operation concept which pays attention to the cultiva? tion of students’ability of practical application. On the basis of fully understanding the profound connotation of CDIO’s idea and the practice of ideological and political education in colleges and universities, this paper ex? plores the unique advantages of CDIO’s idea in promoting the practice of ideological and political education in colleges and universities and the agreement between the two common visions, hierarchical programs and practi? cal paths. Then, on the basis of applying the concept of CDIO, it is proposed to construct a managing platform that combines multiple factors, consolidates the practical consensus and builds up practice organizations. By cul? tivating practical thinking and application-oriented teachers, the concept will put a joint effort to educate people, optimize the evaluation mechanism and ensure a long-term operation to enhance the path of ideological and politi? cal education practice in colleges and universities.
