Formation of environmental education in modern education
The article deals with the problem of the current state of the problem of environmental education in modern education, based on the concept of sustainable development in the modern understanding of ecology. The essence of environmental education as a process and result of the formation of the ecological culture of the individual is considered. The content stages of environmental education in primary, basic and full general education are described. The paper shows that the pedagogical conditions for the formation of ecological culture in the process of environmental education are: the greening of the developing subject-spatial environment, the ecological orientation of various types of children's activities, the development of aesthetic feelings (the ability to see and feel the beauty of nature, admire it, the desire to preserve it). The tasks of environmental education are components that are commensurate with the components of environmental culture, that is, the formation of a system of environmental knowledge, a careful, emotionally positive attitude to nature, elementary rules and norms of behavior, skills and aspirations for nature conservation.
