Abstract

In the era of big data, virtually all industries are undergoing continuous and profound transformation, driven by advanced analytics and digital integration. Consequently, higher education institutions' online ideological and political education must keep pace with these contemporary technological trends. It is imperative to actively pursue innovative breakthroughs and transition from traditional, extensive teaching models to highly refined, data-driven educational approaches. This paper takes the innovation of online ideological and political education at vocational undergraduate institutions as its primary starting point. It thoroughly analyzes the current challenges inherent in modern educational practice, such as declining student engagement, outdated pedagogical methodologies, and the insufficient utilization of digital footprints. Furthermore, the study examines the unique advantages of big data in this specific context, highlighting its capacity for predictive analytics, real-time feedback, and personalized learning trajectories. To address existing deficiencies, this research proposes a comprehensive innovative pathway comprising five core dimensions: establishing a robust centralized data platform, developing individualized ideological and political student profiles, creating immersive and intelligent learning scenarios, implementing proactive risk early-warning systems, and fundamentally reforming traditional evaluation frameworks. Ultimately, the overarching aim of this study is to facilitate the sustainable development of a precise, intelligent, and highly personalized new model for online ideological and political education, thereby significantly enhancing pedagogical effectiveness and student outcomes in vocational undergraduate institutions.
