Abstract

This article focuses on the path of integrating farming culture into the theory and practice courses of labor education. Combining the rich connotations of farming culture, this study explores its significant role in integrating into labor education, including cultivating students' labor concepts, enhancing their labor skills, and making them recognize the value of physical labor in strengthening the body. At the same time, it analyzes the current problems in agricultural labor education, such as insufficient attention, single course content and form, lack of teachers, and insufficient resource input. It also proposes specific paths, such as integrating farming culture into theoretical teaching, combining practical teaching with scientific research and local characteristics, strengthening teacher training, increasing resource input, and establishing a comprehensive evaluation system. The research believes that integrating agricultural labor into labor education has broad prospects and can provide practical support for schools to improve the quality of labor education, promote the all-round development of students, and implement relevant educational methods.
