Abstract
Our study investigated strategies and practices for disseminating cultural values within ideological and political education (IPE) curricula in the context of globalization and regionalization. The research employed a mixed methods approach utilizing a survey (n=29), interviews (n=15), and focus group discussions (n=8-10 participants), alongside textual analysis of national policy documents and IPE textbooks. Our findings revealed a range of perspectives on the effectiveness of current IPE curricula in transmitting cultural values. While some participants felt it adequately instilled important values, others called for improvement. There was a strong emphasis on the importance of cultural values for shaping ethical behaviour and fostering a sense of national identity. Thematic analysis of the qualitative data highlighted a preference for interactive learning methods (discussions, simulations) and the integration of online resources to make cultural values more engaging and relatable. Participants also acknowledged the challenges of balancing cultural values with preparing students for an interconnected world. The textual analysis of national policy documents and IPE textbooks revealed a focus on cultural values that contribute to a strong and harmonious society. Our study underscores the need for IPE curricula to find innovative ways to engage students with cultural values in a globalized world.
