USE OF THE LOCAL STUDIES PRINCIPLE IN THE PROCESS OF FORMATION OF ECOLOGICAL CULTURE IN YOUNGER SCHOOLS

Abstract

The article touches upon a topic of using local lore material in the environmental education of schoolchildren. The modern world is undergoing tremendous changes in all spheres of human life. In the pursuit of material goods, humanity omits those problems that seem to wait. So, everyone knows about the formed consumer relations between man and nature, but for some reason this situation has not changed so far. Environmentalists around the world are sounding the alarm and trying to change something: they are confident that paying more attention to subsistence farming, avoiding chemicals and their treatment, tight control over the quality of waste water, reducing deforestation and many other measures will, if not save humanity and nature, then at least reduce losses. And if an adult is already poorly influenced by the outside, then a child, due to his age and psychological characteristics, can absorb information like a sponge. Therefore, special attention must be paid to the formation of an ecological culture among the younger generation.
