An Innovative Path for Digital-Intelligent Empowerment of Red Culture Education in Universities—A Dialectical Perspective Based on "Technological Rationality" and "Value Rationality"

Abstract

The empowerment of university red culture education by digital-intelligent technologies is currently confronted with the practical tension of an excessively "technological rationality" and a gradually diminishing "value rationality," leading to educational practices becoming formalized, data-driven, and emotionally hollow. The key to resolving this dilemma lies in transcending mere technical application and achieving the organic integration of technological instrumentality and educational value through effective path innovation. Through theoretical analysis and observation of typical cases, this study deeply examines three paradoxes in the process of digital-intelligent empowerment: the contradiction between content standardization and narrative personalization, the tension between emotional resonance and technological detachment, and the conflict between data precision and educational ambiguity. It reveals that the root cause lies in the encroachment of instrumental rationality upon value guidance, and proposes a reconstructed scheme for innovative pathways dominated by "value rationality."
