Abstract
Middle school education constitutes a critical stage for fostering students’ values and achieving the fundamental educational goal of Cultivating Virtue and Nurturing Talents. Concurrently, the burgeoning popularity of short videos presents novel opportunities for advancing ideological and political education. This article emphasizes the importance of enabling secondary school ideological and political teachers to evolve into short video creators. Through an analysis of the positive impact that short videos can have in ideological and political education settings, the study explores practical pathways for facilitating this teacher transformation. The overarching aim is to leverage the power of short videos to foster innovative development within middle school ideological and political education.
