Abstract:The cross-integration of middle school disciplines is the current trend and the need of education, but it is faced with difficulties in practice. The article mainly adopts the observation method and literature research method, analyzes the dilemma with three aspects, and put forward the progressive four-step implementation path. Respectively, schools and teachers can set up teaching objectives pointing to the core qualities of disciplines firstly, organize teaching materials to carry out small interdisciplinary activities in class secondly, then integrate teachers to launch big project-based learning and interdisciplinary activities, finally create comprehensive curriculum pointing to comprehensive qualities.
