Model of Environmental Training of Future Teachers of Geography in the Conditions of Professional Education

The article substantiates the model of ecological training of future geography teachers in the conditions of specialized training based on the implementation of variable courses. It was established that the designed model of ecological training of future geography teachers in the conditions of specialized training is based on the ideas of co-evolution and sustainable development, personality-oriented education, variability as a necessary way of reforming national education for the benefit of sustainable development of society. It is revealed that the implementation of the main ideas is carried out through the principles of eco-humanism, cultural studies, environment creation, standardization, integration, intra-professional unity of variable courses, regionalization, professional orientation. The functions of the model are determined: value-targeted, informational-cognitive, organizational-active and evaluative-reflective. It was revealed that the model of ecological training of future geography teachers in the conditions of specialized training is structurally represented by invariant and variable components. The invariant contains a system of functional types of variable courses that supplement and deepen the content of the basic course, supplement and deepen the content of the specialized course, satisfy cognitive interests, courses of a practice-oriented nature, hierarchically subordinated to each other on the basis of their functional significance and integrative content. The variable part is manifested in the content filling of the invariant with geoecological variable courses of different functional significance and integrative content for the socio-economic profile of education. It is promising to study the variable courses "Ecological culture", "Sustainable development", which supplement and deepen the basic level of the requirements of the State standard of basic secondary education and implement the variant of structural-morphological integration, where the content is united around worldview ideas.
