The problem of attitude to nature and especially to plants, despite a large number of works, remains still actual. This paper describes the study of gender and age aspects of the attitude towards nature among modern teenagers and youth living in a megapolis. An assumption was made that college students as compared with schoolchildren, as well as girls compared with boys, may have a more positive attitude to nature, and their connection with nature is stronger. The study used «Naturaphil» (S.D. Deryabo, V.A. Yаsvin) method and the questionnaire «People and plants» (S.K. Nartova-Bochaver, E.A. Mukhortova). 144 respondents were surveyed, 102 females and 42 males, including 72 collegestudents (Mage=20.56) and 72 eighth grade school students (Mage=14.0). The age- and gender-related characteristics are described of the attitude to nature, the structure of the attitude to nature and plants in teenagers and students is presented. The leading component in the structure of relations to nature in the entire sample is the perceptual-affective component; the less in intensity were the scales actional, practical, and cognitive. The results obtained indicate that in youth, the strength of connection with nature may appear higher than in adolescence. Certain gender differences were also established: the indicators of the questionnaire «People and plants» are significantly higher in the female group. Girls were characterized by a more positive attitude to the plant world: they obtained a higher overall score, as well as on the scales of Aesthetics, Connection with nature and Ecology.

представлено исследование этапов становления экологической культуры в процессе непрерывного экологического образования. Цель статьи – выявить на основе анализа возрастных теорий развития основные этапы становления экологической культуры и цели, задачи, содержание, форматы экологического образования. В качестве методологической основы исследования используются культурологический подход и системно-деятельностный подходы. Для достижения цели исследования авторы используют теоретические методы – анализ, синтез, обобщение и систематизация научных публикаций. Рассматриваются периодизации развития человека, предложенные Э. Эриксоном, М. Монтессори, Д.Б. Элькониным, и теории вертикального развития. Предложен инновационный подход к выделению этапов формирования экологической культуры и соответствующих задач и содержания экологического образования на каждом этапе. В результате исследования было установлено, что до 6 лет ребенок осваивает природную среду через чувства и практическую деятельность. Опираясь на правила и выстраивая свой внутренний нравственный императив в 6-12 лет, он переходит в активную деятельностную позицию в 12-15 и делает локальный вклад в защиту природы, но мыслит все еще локально. В 15-18 он уже готов осознавать глобальные проблемы, мыслить глобально – действовать локально и использовать в обучении и жизни концепцию устойчивого развития. Так он готовится после школы в университетской или профессиональной среде осваивать интегральные уровни (желтый и бирюзовый), то есть искать способы повышения эффективности действий человечества без ущерба для целостного видения и системы и выходить на интеграцию локального и глобального. На основании предложенной периодизации представляется возможным сконструировать инновационную модель непрерывного экологического образования на протяжении всей жизни человека. Важным аспектом в таком подходе становится синхронизация потребностей индивида в переходе на новый уровень экологической культуры и готовности социальных институтов к обеспечению реализации этой потребности. the article is devoted to the study of the stages of the formation of ecological culture in the process of continuous environmental education. The purpose of the article is to identify, based on the analysis of age–related theories of development, the main stages of the formation of ecological culture and the goals, objectives, content, formats of environmental education. The methodological basis of the study is a culturological and system-activity approaches. To achieve the goal of the study, the authors use theoretical methods - analysis, synthesis, generalization and systematization of scientific publications.The article examines the periodizations of human development proposed by E. Erickson, M. Montessori, D.B. Elkonin and presented in the theories of vertical development. The stages of the formation of ecological culture and the corresponding tasks and content of environmental education at each stage are highlighted. As a result of the study, it was found that before the age of 6, a child learns the natural environment through feelings and practical activities. Based on the rules and building his inner moral imperative at the age of 6-12, he moves into an active activity position at 12-15 and makes a local contribution to the protection of nature, but still thinks locally. At the age of 15-18, he is already ready to realize global problems, think globally - act locally and use the concept of sustainable development in education and life. This is how he prepares after school in a university or professional environment to master the integral levels (yellow and turquoise), that is, to look for ways to increase the effectiveness of human actions without compromising the holistic vision and system and to integrate the local and global. Based on the proposed periodization, it is possible to construct a model of continuous environmental education throughout a person's life. An important aspect in this approach is the synchronization of the individual's needs in the transition to a new level of environmental culture and the readiness of social institutions to ensure the realization of this need.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
