DIGITAL PUBLISHING EMPOWERING THE INTEGRATION OF LOCAL CULTURE INTO IDEOLOGICAL AND POLITICAL COURSES: CHALLENGES AND PATHWAYS

Abstract

In the context of a broader ideological and political education paradigm and the digital transformation of education, integrating local cultural resources into ideological and political courses across primary, secondary, and higher education has become an important task for strengthening cultural confidence and achieving a cohesive curriculum system. Digital publishing, as a new form of educational publishing integration, carries multiple empowering effects and is providing new pathways for systematically incorporating local culture into education. This paper starts by examining current challenges in publishing these resources, such as fragmented content, siloed mechanisms, and superficial technology adoption. It then analyzes the logical mechanisms by which digital publishing contributes to knowledge reconstruction, media expansion, and interactive learning experiences, and proposes strategies including building collaborative mechanisms, coordinated resource development, expanding multi-platform dissemination matrices, and optimizing technology application. The aim is to explore effective pathways for deep integration of digital publishing with ideological and political education. The study argues that digital publishing is not only a product of technological drive but should become a vital tool for realizing educational values. Only by promoting integrative innovation while upholding core principles can the fullchain potential of local culture’s educational function be unleashed.
