To address the prevalent issues in secondary vocational education practical training courses—insufficient student engagement, lack of intrinsic motivation, and outdated pedagogical approaches—this study proposes an innovative instructional design framework integrating Virtual Reality technology with theoretical-practical integration pedagogy. The developed “VR-enabled Theory-Practice Integrated Instructional Model” strategically structures the practical training process into three distinct phases: pre-class theoretical preparation, in-class implementation combining virtual simulation experiments with hands-on practical operations, and post-class consolidation through systematic review. Through rigorous comparative experimentation, this research empirically demonstrates the superior efficacy of the VR-integrated theoretical-practical pedagogy over conventional instructional methods in enhancing learning outcomes.
