Abstract

With the rapid development of new media technologies, particularly the widespread adoption of social media and mobile internet, traditional educational management models in higher education institutions are facing significant transformation pressures. The interactive, real-time, and extensive characteristics of new media provide unprecedented opportunities for student education management while simultaneously presenting numerous complex challenges. This paper explores how new media technologies can effectively promote innovation in higher education management from a contemporary new media perspective, with a specific focus on their practical applications in ideological and political education, academic management, psychological counseling, and social practice. Comprehensive research indicates that by effectively utilizing diverse new media platforms, universities can successfully achieve personalized content dissemination, significantly enhanced student interaction, and substantially improved overall management efficiency. However, during the ongoing application of new media, higher education institutions still face critical issues such as severe information overload, escalating data security concerns, and uneven platform usage among different student demographics. To address these pressing challenges, this paper proposes targeted, actionable strategies to optimize educational management practices in higher education institutions under the evolving new media framework. By establishing robust digital infrastructures and fostering digital literacy among educators, these proposed strategies aim to provide innovative ideas and practical guidelines for modernizing student education management, ultimately ensuring a more engaging, secure, and highly effective academic environment for future generations.
