TUTORIAL SUPPORT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF BIOECOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE IN STUDENTS

Abstract

The article considers a problem of how to form bioecological knowledge in students under conditions of tutor support. Scientists-methodologists in the field of biology, ecology and valeology note that at present there is a need for methodological ideas in the selection of bioecological knowledge that would allow solving important problems of human existence. For a number of years, when teaching a school biology course, ecological, biological, evolutionary and valeological concepts are studied separately, and insufficient attention was paid to the practice-oriented direction. The research has shown that the formation of bioecological knowledge in students will be effective with tutor support from a teacher-tutor. Based on the generic concepts of “tutoring”, “support”, “formation”, the authors formulate the content of the main concept of “tutor support of bioecological knowledge in students”. A system is developed based on systemic, axiological and personal-activity methodological approaches and principles of evolutionism, consistency, integrity, sustainability. The characteristics of the target, content-methodical and result-control blocks of the authors’ system of tutor support for the formation of bioecological knowledge in students are given. The experimental work has shown that the identified conditions confirm the successful functioning of the system.
