An Integrated Teaching Model: The Combination of Traditional Methods and Digital Technology in Teaching Political Theory Today

In the context of digital transformation and the Fourth Industrial Revolution, teaching Political Theory requires significant innovation to meet the demands of modern education. This paper analyzes the strengths and limitations of traditional teaching methods and digital technology in Political Theory instruction. While traditional methods ensure theoretical depth and ideological orientation, digital technology enhances interactivity, visualization, and learner engagement. The paper proposes an integrated teaching model (blended learning) that combines face-to-face instruction with digital tools such as AI, e-learning platforms, multimedia, flipped classrooms, and online interactive systems. This model helps transform learning from passive reception into active knowledge construction while improving teaching effectiveness and learning quality. The study affirms that integrating traditional pedagogy with digital technology is an appropriate and inevitable direction for enhancing Political Theory education in the digital era.
