Abstract: As the digitalisation strategy of education continues to advance, brain-computer interface (BCI) technology has been gradually applied to the field of education, injecting new vitality into the paradigm shift of ideological and political education, but at the same time, the potential risks have also been gradually exposed. On the one hand, the technology brings deconstructive challenges to the subject of ideological and political education, resulting in the blurring of the boundaries between the subject and the object; on the other hand, it creates subversive impacts on the content of ideological and political education, weakening its authority. In order to resolve the conflict between technology and education value rationality, this paper proposes synergistic coping strategies from the three dimensions of technology governance, education paradigm innovation, and system guarantee, aiming to promote the dialectical unity of technology instrumentality and education value, and to provide theoretical references and practical paths for the development of ideological and political education in the era of ‘Digital Ideology and Politics’.
