USING 3D MODELS OF NATURAL OBJECTS AS A COMPONENT SEGMENT OF THE DIGITAL EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

The article discusses the essence and characteristics of 3D modeling and the features of using 3D models of natural objects in the educational process of higher educational institutions in terms of improving the quality, accessibility and visibility of the material being studied. The goals of education are identified, the solution of which can be achieved through the use of 3D models of natural objects. The forms of creating 3D models based on the materials of photographing natural objects are systematized. The advantages of visualization and the use of three-dimensional models in 3D space from the point of view of the formation of students' spatial thinking are given. The purpose of the study: Substantiation of the introduction of the use of 3D models of natural objects in the development of digital environmental education in the training of specialists in various industries. One of the important directions related to the solution of environmental problems at the present stage is environmental education and upbringing of the younger generation. Environmental education both in the world and in Russia is today considered a priority area for teaching and educating students in higher educational institutions. Particular attention is drawn to the use of the digital segment in the educational process. The introduction of the study of 3D technologies into the main educational process in order to educate a talented young generation of Russian specialists in the field of ecology and other related specialties is a timely and very necessary process. the use of 3D models of natural objects is a current trend in modern digital education. In this case, the use of 3D models of natural objects in the educational process allows both to increase the susceptibility of biological objects for students through visualization and increased visibility, and to make the process of mastering the material more accessible and efficient. Thus, the creation of electronic resources with the inclusion of 3D models of natural objects qualitatively transforms the activities of educational institutions, which will subsequently have a positive impact on the formation of students' professional competencies.
