Environmental factors of ecological pedagogical work and education

Abstract

This paper is on the roles of the following environmental factors in ecological pedagogical work and education of the family, pre-school institution, school, peer groups, media and social organizations and institutions. The review of characteristics and influences of environmental factors enables readers to view the importance they have on ecological pedagogical work and education. Although each of these environmental factors has an important role in the development of the ecological consciousness and gaining necessary experience in this field, the primary role is given to a school which enables adoption of ecological knowledge in systematic and organized way. It is to be talked about how much the school potentials are used and how much the school manages to answer contemporary needs of ecological pedagogical work and education. The school should justify the role of the leading factor in forming the ecological consciousness of the students, curricula should be more contemporary, teachers should be additionally trained, and the school should intensify cooperation with other institutions.

U radu se analiziraju uloge sledećih sredinskih činilaca u ekološkom vaspitanju i obrazovanju: porodice, predškolske ustanove, škole, vršnjačkih grupa, medija i društvenih organizacija i institucija. Pregled karakteristika i uticaja sredinskih faktora omogućava čitaocu uvid u značaj koji oni imaju na ekološko vaspitanje i obrazovanje. Iako svaki od navedenih sredinskih faktora ima značajnu ulogu u razvoju ekološke svesti i sticanju neophodnih znanja iz ove oblasti, primarna uloga daje se školi koja omogućava usvajanje ekoloških znanja na sistematičan i organizovan način. Postavlja se pitanje koliko se potencijali škole koriste i koliko škola uspeva da odgovori na savremene potrebe ekološkog vaspitanja i obrazovanja. Da bi škola opravdala ulogu vodećeg faktora u oblikovanju ekološke svesti učenika, programi bi trebalo da se osavremenjuju, nastavnici dodatno usavršavaju, a škola intenzivira saradnju sa drugim institucijama.
