In recent years, with the advancement of emerging educational technologies, virtual simulation technology has begun to be applied in ideological and political practice teaching in higher education institutions. By leveraging programming languages and VR technology, a virtual simulation system was constructed. This further enabled the design of a blended teaching model integrating online and offline components based on the virtual simulation system. Mathematical and statistical methods were employed to conduct teaching validation experiments. Finally, the effectiveness of this study is validated from two aspects: the performance of the virtual simulation system and its application outcomes. When the number of concurrent users increased from 100 to 600, the response time of the virtual simulation system consistently remained within 1 second, indicating excellent system performance capable of meeting the daily needs of ideological and political practice teaching in higher education institutions. Furthermore, students exhibited significant differences (P<0.05) under the two distinct ideological and political practice teaching models. Compared to traditional teaching methods, the proposed model demonstrated more pronounced effects on enhancing students’ ideological and political qualities, literacy, and cognitive development. The study also supplemented promotion strategies for the virtual simulation system in ideological and political practice teaching through differentiated dissemination and academic promotion channels.
