Based on the requirements for teachers to educate and nurture students, and taking into account the cognitive development level of middle school students, this paper emphasizes the socialist educational perspective of moral and character development in middle school physics instruction. Using the teaching of Newton’s Second Law as an example, it explores how to cultivate ideological and political education (IPE) within this section of the curriculum. The discussion focuses on five key areas: fostering a sense of responsibility through IPE, integrating dialectical thinking into IPE, understanding the law of quantitative and qualitative changes within IPE, nurturing an innovative spirit via IPE, and prospects for establishing a comprehensive IPE system in middle school education.
