Java Programming is a core foundational course for computer-related majors, playing a significant role in cultivating students' programming abilities, logical thinking, and engineering practice competencies. Taking the course at Guangdong Technology College as an example, this paper adheres to the principle of fostering virtue through education, explores the ideological and political elements embedded in the curriculum, and establishes a trinity of teaching objectives encompassing "knowledge imparting — ability cultivation — value guidance." It designs a multidimensional integration pathway, innovates teaching and assessment models, and achieves synchronized resonance between professional instruction and ideological-political education. It is demonstrated through practice that the organic integration of ideological-political elements into teaching, practice, and assessment effectively enhances students' professional and humanistic qualities, cultivating computer professionals with solid technical skills, strict adherence to professional ethics, and a strong sense of social responsibility.
