Abstract
Against the background of the new era education featuring the integration of five educations (moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor education) and fostering virtue through education, promoting the integration of labor education with subject teaching in junior high school is a key measure to implement labor education policies and address the isolation dilemma of labor education. Based on the requirements of documents such as the “Compulsory Education Labor Curriculum Standards (2022 Edition),” this paper focuses on the teaching practice of integrating labor education with subject teaching in junior high school, analyzes five core difficulties in the current integration process, proposes targeted practical paths, and supplements explanations with specific teaching cases to clarify the practical significance of integrated teaching. This paper aims to provide theoretical and practical support for the implementation of the integration of labor education with subject teaching in junior high school, break subject barriers, realize the collaborative cultivation of labor literacy and subject core literacy, and promote the high-quality development of labor education in junior high school.
