FORMATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL COMPETENCE OF 5TH GRADE STUDENTS IN UKRAINIAN LITERATURE LESSONS

Abstract

Abstract. The article updates the problem of forming students' ecological competence in the context of implementing a competency-based approach in the New Ukrainian School.

The purpose of the study is to analyze the potential of the 5th grade Ukrainian literature course in terms of forming students' ecological competence based on the textbook "Ukrainian Literature. Grade 5" (authors: T. Yatsenko, V. Pakharenko, O. Slyzhuk). To achieve this goal, methods of analysis and generalization of scientific and pedagogical literature, regulatory documents in the field of education, literary and ecocritical analysis of works of art were used.

As a result of the study, the ecological potential of works of the thematic section "Native Nature" was determined, their role in the formation of ecological consciousness, ecological thinking, value attitude to the environment, humane attitude to animals, awareness of interrelationships in nature and responsible behavior was clarified.

The feasibility of using competency-based, activity-based, personally oriented, integrative, environmental, project-based and STEM-oriented approaches when studying works on natural science topics is substantiated.

It is proven that the combination of literary analysis with practical activities of students contributes to the effective formation of environmental competence in accordance with the requirements of the State Standard of Basic Secondary Education.

The practical value of the study lies in the possibility of using the proposed methodological approaches, tasks and forms of work by teachers of Ukrainian literature to develop environmental competence of 5th grade students in the educational process of the New Ukrainian School.
