Abstract
Modern problems of civilization actualize the need to change the system of professional education and strengthen its environmental (ecological) component. This should be carried out in the system of personality- and morality-oriented actions, the goal of which is to educate the environmental outlook against the background of the development of humanitarian thinking and humanistic behavioural programs. Educating ecological values and an environmental style of thinking of the future pedagogues by forming an active activity-centred position as a constituent part of environmental (ecological) competence is one of the most important vectors determining the development of higher education in the 21st century. The aim of the article is to demonstrate the project technology as a form of educational process in the university facilitating the formation of ideology and value orientations, environmental style of thinking and professional competence. The results of the empirical study allow us to draw the following conclusions: the method of environmental (ecological) education causes certain difficulties for the future teachers stipulated by insufficient awareness of factual material, one-sided understanding of the goals and objectives of primary environmental education; while introducing nature to children, teachers mainly prefer methods of visual and verbal impact on children, which partially enables forming the fundamentals of the future citizen’s environmental (ecology) culture. The formation of the fundamentals of junior schoolchildren’s environmental (ecology) culture requires consideration of many factors. Particular attention in this process should be paid to overcoming the contradiction between the future teacher training and the level of the good environmental (ecology) breeding of the younger generation. The present days require the creation of a single social and pedagogical environment for the interaction between teachers and parents, the determining factor for which is the orientation towards the initial level of children's readiness for a holistic perception of nature. Solving the problem of environmental education and upbringing of the younger generation involves the use of special techniques which would make it possible to simultaneously affect the emotional, cognitive and activity spheres of the personality or facilitate children’s involvement into active forms of interaction with nature. The article presents the project technology as a form of educational process in the university which provides the formation of worldview-value orientations, the eco-style of thinking as well as the professional competence of the future primary school teachers. The project technology is recognized as one of the progressive ones, which allows us to find a reasonable balance between scientific and practical knowledge, skills and abilities as well as to organize rationally the future teacher's self-guided activity. The technology of project training in the process of mastering the discipline «Teaching methods of the education area «Natural Science»» allows you to harmoniously combine academic knowledge with empirical experience.
