 Abstract

Ecological education is considered as a holistic cultural phenomenon, which includes the processes of education, upbringing, development of the person, the basis for the formation of ecological culture, a significant component of the system of national education of students and students. The ecological competence of future biology teachers today is defined as the ability to apply environmental knowledge and experience in life situations, guided by the priority of environmental values and responsibility for the environmental consequences of their own activities. The method of systematic structural analysis of scientific literature suggests that in the structure of ecological competence, scientists distinguish the following components: value-orientation, information-ecological, procedural-activity, reflexive and evaluative-productive. Ecological culture is considered as a component of a common culture and is carried out through environmental education. The acquired knowledge contributes to the formation of the ecological worldview of youth, ecological thinking and a conscious humanity attitude to nature as a unique value.
Forms of environmental education are improved and based on interactive interaction, which is based on the principles of person-oriented learning. Competence potential of the ability to effectively co-operate in the team on the implementation of environmental projects, to solve environmental problems, involving the wider community, apply the experience acquired in order to preserve the educational basis of the subject biology includes environmental literacy and healthy life, involves the development of their own health and health of others. The following methods, forms and methods of teaching are implemented: motivation to replenish ecological knowledge; development of creative thinking, research skills and skills; the ability to analyze the processes and consequences of transformative activities in nature, participate in the practical work on solving specific problems in the environment. Further development of scientific and methodological materials for universities and schools on the problem of forming the ecological competence of youth on the basis of the concept of the New School will be needed.
Key words: ecological competence;  environmental education;  higher school;  interactive learning.
