Abstract

Introduction. Environmental problems and climate change are global challenges to mankind, requiring joint efforts for a joint solution. Predictions of climate scientists determine the need for radical changes in the way of life of modern civilization and the search for new approaches to environmental education of the younger generation. The aim of the article is to describe the joint experience of Russian and Kazakh universities in environmental education to form the foundations of environmental competence in an international project and analyze the results obtained. Materials and methods. An interdisciplinary project in English "Environmental Education: an international project on climate problems in the Russian Federation and Kazakhstan" involved 114 students of Petrozavodsk State University and Eurasian National University. The research methodology was based on a comparative analysis of the data obtained through formalized questionnaire surveys of open and closed types, as well as self-assessment and statistical methods. Research results. The experiment revealed positive dynamics in the environmental competence development of students of both universities, similarities and differences in their awareness of the vital importance of environmental issues for the world and their regions of residence. The target values of the experimental groups proved to be statistically significantly higher than those of the control group in their understanding of the seriousness of global warming problems (temp_PetrSU = 5,86, р<0,001; temp_ENU = 2,83, р<0,001), plastic waste recycling (temp_PetrSU = 5,12, р<0,001; temp_ENU = 4,27, р<0,001), forest fires (temp_PETRU = 5,25, р<0,001; temp_ENU = 5,80, р<0,001), droughts and food crisis (temp_PETRU = 5,31, р<0,001; temp_ENU = 5,27, р<0,001). The participants in the international project perceived the dangers of loss of a breathable atmosphere, ozone depletion (temp_PetrSU = 5,47, р<0,001; temp_ENU = 4,57, р<0,001) and starvation, connected with the Earth overpopulation (temp_PetrSU = 5,30, р<0,001; temp_ENU = 5,29, р<0,001) more deeply and seriously. The significant result of the project was the creation of an ecological YouTube channel and the development of a joint solution to overcome the identified environmental problems of the regions. Conclusion. The conducted study confirmed the effectiveness of integrating an environmental project into the content of foreign language teaching to develop students' environmental competence. It contributed to the complex ecological education and formation of ecological culture of young people capable of solving global problems of our time. Recommendations on the dissemination of this experience in environmental education of students of technical and natural-science training areas are offered.
俄罗斯和哈萨克斯坦大学国际合作中的环境教育:案例研究
介绍。环境问题和气候变化是人类面临的全球性挑战,需要各国携手应对。气候科学家的预测决定了现代文明的生活方式需要彻底改变,并需要寻找对年轻一代进行环境教育的新方法。本文的目的是描述俄罗斯和哈萨克斯坦大学在环境教育方面的联合经验,以形成国际项目环境能力的基础,并分析所取得的成果。材料和方法。一个英语跨学科项目“环境教育:俄罗斯联邦和哈萨克斯坦气候问题的国际项目”涉及彼得罗扎沃茨克国立大学和欧亚国立大学的114名学生。研究方法是通过开放式和封闭式的正式问卷调查,以及自我评估和统计方法,对数据进行对比分析。研究的结果。实验揭示了两所大学的学生在环境能力发展方面的积极动态,他们对世界和他们居住地区的环境问题至关重要的认识的异同。实验组对全球变暖问题严重性认识的目标值显著高于对照组(temp_PetrSU = 5,86, < 001;temp_ENU = 2,83, < 0001),塑料垃圾回收(temp_PetrSU = 5,12, < 0001;temp_ENU = 4,27, < 001),森林火灾(temp_PETRU = 5,25, < 001;temp_PETRU = 5,80, 0001),干旱和粮食危机(temp_PETRU = 5,31, 0001;temp_ENU = 5,27, 0001)。国际项目的参与者认识到失去可呼吸的大气、臭氧消耗的危险(temp_PetrSU = 5,47, nf < 001;temp_ENU = 4,57, < 001)和饥饿,与地球人口过剩有关(temp_PetrSU = 5,30, < 001;temp_ENU = 5,29, nf <0,001)更加深入和认真。该项目的重要成果是创建了一个生态YouTube频道,并制定了共同解决方案,以克服该地区已确定的环境问题。结论。本研究证实将环境专题纳入外语教学内容,对培养学生的环境能力是有效的。它促成了复杂的生态教育,形成了有能力解决我们这个时代的全球性问题的年轻人的生态文化。提出了关于在技术和自然科学培训领域的学生的环境教育中传播这一经验的建议。
