The economic development of the Arctic and the related disturbances in the natural equilibrium of northern ecosystems have become a source of environmental problems that have now become global. In this regard, the urgent question is about finding an affordable and effective learning technology aimed at developing, humanistic, personality-oriented education. In order to discuss the technology of environmental education, as a means of ensuring environmental safety, environmental management and sustainable development of the Arctic, we proposed a questionnaire for obtaining primary environmental and health information, the key point in which is the relationship of ecology and health. Approbation of the problem-dialogue technology of learning allowed, on the basis of clarifying environmental opinions and assessments, value orientations, attitudes, dispositions and stimulating cognitive motivation on the substantive content, to achieve competences to ensure the environmental safety of northern ecosystems during the economic activities of enterprises of the fuel and energy complex. This is especially important in the conditions of the Far North with difficult climatic conditions (geomagnetic background, sudden temperature changes, strong wind loads, the presence of permafrost, etc.) and the rapid development of the oil and gas complex (in particular, high accident rate associated with the complexity of technical devices, the use of extreme operating conditions, strong environmental influences, flammability and explosive hazards of mined products, human factor).
