Abstract: This study aimed to survey and explore the basic aspects and needs for developing an instructional model to enhance attitude and achievement in ideological and political education(IPE). According to the experimental data results, the current status of attitude and achievement and the factors affecting attitudes are mainly analyzed, and recommendations were made for the reform of the teaching model of IPE education in vocational colleges. The sample consisted of 286 students in the first semester of the 2024-2025 academic year at Sichuan Vocational College of Health and Rehabilitation. A total of 246 valid questionnaires were collected, and seven faculty members and seven student representatives were interviewed. The instruments were College students' attitude scale and interview outlines. The study used both quantitative and qualitative methods. The results indicate that the overall attitude to learning of students in Chinese vocational colleges is “moderate”, the achievement base is in mid-to-lower range, and although the awareness of the meaning of learning has increased, the classroom mood is significantly deficient. Based on the results, it suggests that the traditional instructional model is no longer suitable for IPE. When designing the model, we should combine with constructivism and other theories of suitability to explore the whole process of IPE, adopting a group problem-driven approach and making the classroom return to “student-centered”.
