Ltd.10.26689/erd.v8i3.14591ArticleResearch on the Internal Logic and Practical Paths of Information Technology Empowering Ideological and Political Education Innovationhttps://artdesignp.com/journal/erd/8/3/10.26689/erd.v8i3.14591SuiZhichun2026832026-04-17The integration of information technology and education is an irreversible trend. Against this background, information technology has endowed ideological and political (ideological and political) education with new momentum. Centering on this core proposition, this paper sorts out its development background and strategic significance, analyzes the internal logic from three dimensions: technology reconstructing the cognitive paradigm, optimizing educational elements, and recreating the education process, and proposes a practical path of “technology integration - scenario innovation - ecological co-construction”. The research finds that information technology, by virtue of its own advantages, breaks through time and space limitations, enhances interactive experience, and realizes precise policy implementation, effectively resolving the dilemmas of traditional ideological and political education such as fragmented resources, single methods, and lagging evaluation. It provides technical support and theoretical innovation achievements for the high-quality development of ideological and political education in the new era.
