The integration of big data and ideological and political education is a new topic in the innovation and development of ideological and political education. According to literature statistics, the domain of the study focuses on four aspects: educational subject and object, ideological and political theory course, ideological and political education practice and network ideological and political education. The academic circles believe that the databased ideology provides the possibility for the integration of big data and ideological and political education, that currently there is still a integration dilemma in technology, method, subjectobject relationship and ethics, and that the way of integration should be realized by thinking shift, paradigm reconstruction, technology implementation and big data governance. From the perspective of the basic theory of ideological and political education, the positioning of their integration lies in the fact that big data is an important field to study ideological and political education and an external manifestation of the essence of ideological and political education. Big data enriches the research foundation of the law of ideological and political education and marks a new starting point for the value of ideological and political education. To deepen the transformation of the integration research of big data and ideological and political education, we need to achieve four transformations: from focusing on big data to systematic research, from applied research to supporting discipline development, from focusing on “big data” to integration into “new era”, and from practice consciousness to philosophy consciousness.
