Education Of Students

Currently, environmental education is considered as a key principle of sustainable development of society and nature. It represents the uniform continuous educational process directed on development of a system of ecological knowledge, abilities, skills, valuable installations, experience of activity and competence of the careful attitude to environment and rational nature management. Hydrobotany has great opportunities in terms of environmental education of students. We consider hydrobotanics to be the science of aquatic plants, their communities, processes of overgrowing of ponds and streams. It studies the features of external and internal water macrophytes structure, their life processes, the relationship between them and the environment, diversity, distribution, introduction, role in nature and human life (outecology); composition and structure of aquatic phytocenoses, their production and destruction, as well as the processes of formation of aquatic vegetation and its dynamics (synecology). Hydrobotany has its purpose and objectives, object, subject and methods of research, open laws, special conceptual apparatus, history of development. It occupies a certain place in the system of sciences. In Samara State University of Social Sciences and Education Hydrobotany is included in the curriculum of the main professional educational programs of the bachelors degree Pedagogical education (majors Biology and Geography, Biology and Chemistry, Biology) as a discipline for students choice. We have developed a model of environmental education of students in the process of teaching Hydrobotany. It consists of four components: targeted, substantive, procedural, monitoring and evaluation. The target component-includes the purpose and objectives of the discipline Hydrobotany in the field of environmental education of students. Content component-covers the system of environmental knowledge on Hydrobotany; skills and experience of activities on the ecology of aquatic plants; value systems for aquatic plants and their communities; special competence of aquatic plants ecology study, their protection, careful and rational use. Procedural component-contains forms, methods, tools and technologies of environmental education. Control and evaluation component includes educational results; forms, types and methods of control, as well as a system of evaluation of individual achievements of students.

Methodological Guidelines

The following paper discusses one of the aspects of environmental education. It is related to the necessity to use a systematic approach for schoolchildrens environmental thinking development. The process of environmental thinking development is linked with environmental education implementation. For a long time, environmental education was considered as an integral part of biological education, but now an interdisciplinary approach to this work is considered. Different models of cognition are also considered, the recognition or denial of which influenced the nature of science development and the content of the educational process. Cognitive models in varying degrees, depending on specific conditions, determined the level and nature of ecological knowledge system development. A systematic approach for schoolchildrens environmental thinking development should be based on the main positions, which are the basis of cognitive models that act as paradigmatic methodological guidelines. The implementation of a systematic approach to environmental thinking development proceeds more successfully when using the practice-oriented approach, which lies at the basis of the lesson and students extracurricular activities organization. The above mentioned approach can be now implemented in the form of project development. While working with students - prospective teachers, ecologization of disciplines is widely implemented.

Education Of Students

The article deals with a pedagogical analysis of the problem of the physical education of students in the position of quarantine measures. At the present stage of reforms in Ukraine, youth health is one of the components of national development. It is proposed to consider the main aspects of distance learning technology as a means of creating opportunities to support and prevent the phenomena of social maladaptation of student youth. The purpose of the work is to identify and substantiate the target component of distance learning of students in physical education in higher education institutions. The research is based on the use of a set of general scientific theoretical methods: analysis, synthesis, systematization, and generalization. The study is supplemented by studying the creativity of this type of interaction with students, analysis of academic and scientific achievements in this area. The goals of the educational process of physical education using distance learning technologies are to educate students how to treat their health as the highest social value, the formation of hygienic skills and the principles of a healthy lifestyle, maintaining and strengthening physical and mental health. Based on the results of the pedagogical analysis, the target direction of distance technologies in the implementation of physical education of students and the use of vector information technologies in this process is highlighted, which opens new prospects for the industry and should become the basis of development strategy. The use of pedagogical programmable means – electronic educational and methodical complexes in the process of distance learning, will help students to master the skills of independent study. It was found that the use of distance learning technology allows to provide a holistic multifaceted physical education aimed at maintaining and strengthening the health of students in a situation of forced restriction of their physical activity. The results of the study can be used in the provision of quarantine measures, the basis of physical education of students are independent classes using all possible forms of physical activity.

Life On Earth

The world is experiencing a number of major problems (overpopulation, too-rapid urbanisation, uncontrolled technology, habitat destruction etc.) which are threatening the future of human life on earth. To document the alleged causes of environmental degradation as such a list of discrete problems as is done by many writers (Palme, 1972; Burnet, 1979 etc.) can lead to an erroneous supposition that provided a systematic solution can be found for each problem, then the future is likely to be less threatened. This supposition is incorrect because the crisis has arisen from the threat posed by the whole, that is, the irrevocable links which exist between each of these problem areas such as those listed above. Resolving one problem satisfactorily on a global scale will not provide solutions for the other problem areas. The solution must lie with an approach which might not only solve many present problems but also prevent new problems from arising. Such a remedy reflects on the ecological nature of the problem, recognising that “everything is connected to everything else” (Commoner, 1972a). From around 1970, this role has been allocated specifically to education. Perelman (1976) saw a need to develop ecological pedagogy, an educational process that is ecological not only in its subject matter but in its structure and dynamics as well. Both Ehrlich (1971) and Commoner (1972b) saw education as a necessary component of any solution. Boyden (1970) argued that educational institutions must be placed at the top of the list of agents whose task is to reverse the trend towards environmental degradation. He noted that a key task for present adult generations is to provide youth with an environmental education (EE) that will prepare them emotionally and intellectually for the role of protecting the biosphere. Stapp (1970, 24) remarked on the need for well-informed educators: “If individuals are to be prepared to make the kind of environmental decisions that our nation will face in the future, schools must embark on a comprehensive program that will span the curriculum (K-12).”

Currently, in the context of the global environmental crisis, human life is accompanied by great difficulties. Their elimination requires, first of all, the improvement of environmental knowledge, which will help to further overcome the environmental crisis. The studies show that at present the work on environmental education in the universities of Azerbaijan is not satisfactory. The tendency to reduce academic hours makes it impossible to include additional environmental subjects in the curriculum. However, this does not mean that environmental awareness should be neglected. Universities have a sufficient base for environmental work, especially in the natural sciences departments. In this regard, environmental awareness has been brought to the forefront in the training of students on specialties „Biology”, „Geography”, „Physics” and „Chemistry” of Baku State University and Azerbaijan State Pedagogical University. As a result of the experiment, the effectiveness of the proposed method of environmental education of students in the teaching of natural sciences was proved, it was found that as a result of this training, significant changes will occur in the students’ attitude to nature.

The article presents the problem of studying the aesthetic education of students in the conditions of the internationalization of higher education at the end of the 20th - the beginning of the 21st century. In the center of our research attention is the phenomenon of aesthetization of the educational process, a significant problem of moral and ethical orientation, a universal model of conscious human existence in the process of spiritual development of mankind - the formation of a professional personality as a carrier of aesthetic values, the optimal ways of development of which are in the plane of educational space.A special value in the educational humanistic paradigm and its component - aesthetic education is defined formation of sensuality, human aesthetic in opposition to rationalism, naked calculation, alienation, intolerance, its ability to empathy, compassion, creativity in reaction to communication with the beautiful in any of its manifestations .It is noted that the conditions for the internationalization of higher education from the end of the XXth to the beginning of the XXI century open the possibilities in the unity of theory and practice to know, to analyze another, different from the Ukrainian tradition, the experience of aesthetic education (in a greater orientation on the sphere of law, action, creativity, initiative), that defines the emergence of new areas - ecological and social aesthetics, integrating the best achievements in the Ukrainian educational space.Awareness of the prospects, risks, challenges of the modern pedagogical process for the development of aesthetic education, whose ultimate goal is a person of culture, is formed in the plane of philosophical and pedagogical discourse, subordinated to the renewed educational paradigms. After all, to understand their originality, novelty, to make effective decisions in the new conditions of pedagogical activity is impossible without philosophical ideas that help to more fully, deeper comprehend the reality in the unity and diversity of all spheres, connections and relationships of human life, to understand the place of man in a globalized world.

The Masses

Since its evolution environment has remained both a matter of awe and concern to man. The frontier attitude of the industrialized society towards nature has not only endangered the survival of all other life forms but also threatened the very existence of human life. The realization of such potential danger has necessitated the dissemination of knowledge and skill vis-a-vis environment protection at all stages of learning. Therefore, learners of all stages of learning need to be sensitized with a missionary zeal. This may ensure transformation of students into committed citizens for averting global environment crisis. The advancement of science and technology made the life more and more relaxed and man also became more and more ambitious. With such development, human dependence on environment increased. He consumed more resources and the effect of his activities on the environment became more and more detectable. Environment covers all the things present around the living beings and above the land, on the surface of the earth and under the earth. Environment indicates, in total, all of peripheral forces, pressures and circumstances, which affect the life, nature, behaviour, growth, development and maturation of living beings. Irrational exploitation (not utilization) of natural resources for our greed (not need) has endangered our survival, and incurred incalculable harm. Environmental Education is a science, a well-thought, permanent, lasting and integrated process of equipping learning experiences for getting awareness, knowledge, understanding, skills, values, technical expertise and involvement of learners with desirable attitudinal changes about their relationship with their natural and biophysical environment. Environmental Education is an organized effort to educate the masses about environment, its functions, need, importance, and especially how human beings can manage their behaviour in order to live in a sustainable manner.  The term 'environmental awareness' refers to creating general awareness of environmental issues, their causes by bringing about changes in perception, attitude, values and necessary skills to solve environment related problems. Moreover, it is the first step leading to the formation of responsible environmental behaviour (Stern, 2000). With the ever increasing development by modern man, large scale degradation of natural resources have been occurred, the public has to be educated about the fact that if we are degrading our environment we are actually harming ourselves. To encourage meaningful public participation and environment, it is necessary to create awareness about environment pollution and related adverse effects. This is the crucial time that environmental awareness and environmental sensitivity should be cultivated among the masses particularly among youths. For the awareness of society it is essential to work at a gross root level. So the whole society can work to save the environment.

This article aims to put forward the learning design so that learning runs well, accompanied by anticipatory steps to minimize the gaps that occur so that learning activities achieve the goals set. The writing of this article uses the literature study method taken from various sources about learning. A teacher needs to have the ability to design and implement a variety of learning strategies that are considered suitable with the interests, talents and in accordance with the level of student development, including utilizing various sources and learning media to ensure the effectiveness of learning. The essence of learning design is the determination of optimal learning methods to achieve the stated goals. There is no learning model that can provide the most effective recipe for developing a learning program. The determination of the design model to develop a learning program depends on the designer's consideration of the model to be used or chosen. The educational process is a series of efforts to guide, direct the potential of human life in the form of basic abilities and personal lives as individual and social creatures and in their relationship with the natural surroundings to become responsible individuals.

This study aims at evaluating the environmental education (EE) and communication intervention for the valorization of migratory fish resources in an estuary of northern Portugal. The EE component intervention was implemented among Middle School pupils of that region. Students’ knowledge was quantitatively evaluated with an experimental approach of pre-testing and post-testing, on the ocean and estuarine literacy (OEL) and biology of migratory species, such as sea lamprey. This study also analyzes the communication component developed via social media. Results of the EE component show an evident increment of OEL (p < 0.05). It is also highlighted that students had previous knowledge on issues that are not covered in the curriculum. Social media has shown to be an effective communication tool mostly among the scientific community (e.g., Ethnobiology). The research has various implications to OEL since it brings a new perspective towards the integration of ocean literacy in formal education; as well as the valorization of Students’ local ecological knowledge and of inter-generational dynamics. This study contributed to promoting local biodiversity, OEL, and participatory local governance of these ecosystems.
