Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: In this article, the authors attempt to assess the state of development of environmental education practices in Russia. The study is based on empirical data obtained during in-depth interviews with representatives of twenty organizations of additional education that carry out environmental education practices. According to the data obtained, the following conclusions can be drawn: 1) lack of a unified approach to the interpretation of environmental education. Pluralism of pedagogical methods, which is not subject to expert evaluation, leads to differentiation of the quality of the educational product; 2) lack of systemic support and a unified approach to the resource support of educational programs implementing environmental education; 3) lack of the necessary inflow of young personnel into the teaching corps implementing environmental education programs, as well as specific requirements for the competencies and qualifications of teachers implementing these programs. According to the authors, environmental education requires a systematic approach, the use of certain “educational franchises” such as eco-stations, which allow to unify educational practices, to form unified and effective methods.
