Ideological and political course teachers and counselors are the main forces in implementing ideological and political education in higher education institutions. Collaborative education between these two groups is both feasible and necessary. However, current collaborative efforts in some institutions remain suboptimal. This study focuses on the collaboration between ideological and political course teachers and counselors in the context of ‘one-stop’ student community development. By constructing a‘1234’three-dimensional collaborative education mechanism (i.e., one moral education objective, establishing dual community-based education entities, improving three collaborative education mechanisms, and relying on four collaborative pathways), we aim to address the practical challenges in current student communities, such as the absence of top-level design for collaborative education between ideological and political course teachers and counselors, lagging platform development, and weak resource guarantee systems. The proposed framework aims to foster mutual integration and growth between the two groups, providing a new paradigm for higher vocational colleges to fulfill the fundamental task of moral education.
