Abstract

The article reveals the pedagogical conditions for the formation of the environmental culture of ecologists in the process of preparation for professional activity. An important component of the environmental culture of ecologists is the creation of the desired structure or order in nature and the education of high humanistic life values and guidelines in human life. The components that are important in the formation of the environmental culture of ecologists are singled out. The main functions required by environmental education, which must be taken into account when training ecologists, are highlighted. Based on the analysis of the environmental culture of the individual, the article defines its integrative essence, the content of environmental education, and pedagogical conditions for its successful implementation. Having analyzed the ecological culture of the individual, revealing its integrative essence and the content of environmental education, we conducted an experimental study to confirm the applicability, optimality, and effectiveness of the proposed pedagogical conditions for the formation of the environmental culture of an ecologist. The results of the experimental study confirmed the applicability, optimality, and effectiveness of the proposed pedagogical conditions for the formation of the environmental culture of an ecologist in the process of professional training.
