Research on the Interactive Mechanism between Ideological and Political Education and Aesthetic Communication in Higher Vocational Colleges in the Era of Converged Media

Abstract

The information dissemination environment in the era of converged media has reshaped the relationship between ideological and political education and aesthetic communication in higher vocational colleges, with the two forming a close interactive linkage driven by media technologies. This study, based on an interdisciplinary perspective of pedagogy, communication studies, and aesthetics, systematically constructs and theoretically explains the interactive mechanism between the two. Starting from conceptual integration, this study reveals the aesthetic turn of ideological and political education and its media logic, defines the core elements of aesthetic communication and its educational embedding methods, and proposes the interactive mechanism as a dynamic relational system featuring bidirectional regulation and co-evolution. Furthermore, from the perspective of functional forms, this study analyzes the integration of value orientation and sensory experience, the coupling of information encoding and aesthetic decoding, and the adaptation of media ecology and cognitive habits. Finally, from the perspective of construction pathways, this study elucidates the construction of interactive relationships through emotional resonance, the interactive process of symbol sharing and meaning negotiation, and the interactive efficacy of dynamic balance and systemic self-consistency. This study argues that ideological and political education and aesthetic communication form a mutually constitutive and symbiotic relational structure in the era of converged media, with their interactive mechanism taking emotional resonance as the initiating node, symbol sharing and meaning negotiation as the core process, and dynamic balance and systemic self-consistency as the mature form, thereby exhibiting nonlinear and open operational characteristics.
