Abstract

Driven by the popularity of short video platforms and artificial intelligence, the traditional group PPT presentation method in university ideological and political education has been reduced to a mere formality. Guided by the concept of situational teaching, this paper proposes a targeted pedagogical reform for these courses, which replaces the conventional PowerPoint-based teaching mode with student-independent micro-film creation. In this reformed teaching mode, college students independently create and exhibit short films focusing on social ethics, institutional regulations, national security and other hot topics combined with current events. The immersive role-playing and situational creation involved in this teaching reform can help students better grasp professional theoretical concepts. Combined with frontline practical teaching practice, this paper systematically elaborates the whole implementation process of the micro-film teaching reform, evaluates its practical teaching effects and existing problems in classroom application, and proposes targeted improvement plans. Based on the above investigation, this paper concludes that micro-film teaching will likely be able to arouse college students’ interest in learning and promote learning outcomes.
