CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MAIN COMPONENTS AND CRITERIA OF THE FORMATION OF THE ECOLOGICAL CULTURE OF FUTURE SCIENCE TEACHERS

Abstract

Nowadays, the problem of optimizing the interaction betweenman and nature by increasing the level of environmental culture of young people is relevant. The views of scientists on the specifics of the formation of environmental culture of higher education students are analyzed. Five interrelated components of the readiness of students of higher education for the formation of an ecological culture of students are characterized: motivational and valuable (deep interest of students in studying the ecological state of the environment, their conviction in the education of moral and ecological qualities in schoolchildren), cognitive (the formation of a certain system of psychological pedagogical, chemical, geographical, ecological, biological knowledge, which ensures the development of ecological thinking), procedural (formation of ecological and professional skills, skills and experience necessary for the implementation of environmentally safe activities with students), reflective and personal (formation in highereducation students of the skills to realize the results oftheir ecologically oriented activities, to objectively evaluate them and determine one's attitude towards them). According to the components, the criteria for the formation of the ecological culture of future teachers of natural sciences are defined: value-orientational, cognitive, practical-active, reflective-evaluative.
