ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION IN THE US AND WESTERN EUROPE

Abstract

The experience of environmental training for future teachers in the USA, Great Britain, Germany, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands is analyzed. A comparative analysis of university curricula helps to determine their environmental content. Conclusions are drawn about the greening of the educational process of higher education institutions through the inclusion of environmental material in various academic disciplines, the implementation of separate environmental disciplines, and various special courses of environmental and pedagogical orientation, the latter being typical for US universities.
