Abstract: The process of ideological and political education constitutes a vital area of research in this field. Examining this process through the lens of social functioning represents a novel perspective for ideological and political education research in the new era. From this viewpoint, the process of ideological and political education involves the purposeful, planned, and organized cultivation and enhancement of individual or collective ideological and political qualities. It encompasses three dimensions: the selforganizing operation of ideological and political education as an internally independent system, the interactive operation between the ideological and political education system and other social subsystems, and the ubiquitous operation of ideological and political education under the broader influence of external societal environments. These three dimensions comprehensively reveal the holistic dynamics of the process of ideological and political education. Their coordinated interplay serves as an effective approach to strengthening the explanatory power of this process. Therefore, by analyzing the constituent elements and developmental trajectories of selforganizing operation, interactive operation, and ubiquitous operation, and by identifying pathways to innovate across all elements and optimize the entire process, a new logical framework can be established for ideological and political education in the new era. This framework will enhance the practical efficacy of ideological and political education in the new era, advancing both the comprehensive development of individuals and the allaround progress of society.
