Проблеми екологічної освіти і виховання у загальноосвітніх школах

Abstract

Although there is a general understanding in Ukraine of the goals and objectives of environmental education and its importance for the country's sustainable development, there is no separate subject called "Ecology" in secondary schools. In the Biology and Ecology course, the distribution of hours between biological and environmental topics is not proportional, with only 20% of class time allocated to ecology. The complication of the relationship between humans and nature has led to the emergence of a number of applied environmental areas, which are much larger than in the classical bioecology block. Over the past decades, about 90 areas (sections and subsections) have been formed, and students receive rather superficial knowledge about them.
