The development of new media has expanded the communication scope of domestic science and education documentaries. Boasting both scientific value and cross-cultural communication attributes, such documentaries are highly aligned with the goal of cultivating interdisciplinary and application-oriented talents in MTI scientific and technological translation courses. Adopting the methods of literature research and case analysis, this paper explores the feasibility and value of the integration of the two. It identifies existing problems including inaccurate material selection, rigid teaching models and inadequate faculty competence, and proposes optimization strategies in terms of building a targeted material database, innovating teaching modes, strengthening faculty development and improving the evaluation system. This research can provide a reference for the curriculum reform of MTI scientific and technological translation courses, facilitate the training of sci-tech translation talents, boost the international communication of domestic science and education documentaries, and enhance the global outreach of China’s science, technology and culture.
