Abstract

With the popularization of social media (98.7% of college students use it, with an average daily usage of 5.2+ hours), traditional ideological and political education (IPE) is facing challenges. In this study, an IPE data analysis framework integrating multi-source data (social media+campus system) and machine learning models (BERT, LDA, random forest) was constructed and verified in a key university in the east. Through stratified random sampling of 1,920 undergraduates (representing N=28,000, χ = 2.36, p=0.67), three core strategies were tested: differentiated communication, dynamic intervention, and collaborative governance. The results show that the interaction rate of students is increased by 12.4%–18.7%, the response time of questions is shortened by 64% (7.5→2.7 hours), and the accuracy of cross-departmental decision-making is improved by 51%. Ethical protection includes hierarchical informed consent, AES-256 encryption, and manual audit, and the withdrawal rate is only 1.8%.
