The issue of the study. The alterations in society and development of technologies require a new approach to teaching and training aids. Modern information systems and technologies are promoted teaching and learning different subjects at all levels. Along the increase of information technology importance and impact, the educational and teaching system, its major alteration and spread of new training aids becomes an underlying field of society building. It frames a question of the study dealing with how the would-be teachers of sciences adopt and most frequently use electronically-based training aids. The goal of research. The goal of research is to establish the types of electronically-based training aids and information sources used by the science students. Methods of research. The object of research is the employment of electronically-based training aids and information sources used by the science students. Research was conducted applying the methods of reference analysis, surveying and mathematical statistics. The students studying physics, chemistry and biology participated in the survey. Two targeted groups were formed the first of which included 250 a first university degree (a Bachelor’s degree studies, 1st, 2nd and 3rd year of studies) and the second one - 105 a second university degree (a Master’s degree studies) students. Results of research. During the studies, the science students most frequently apply the electronically-based paper databases while the databases of research data and scientific articles are rarer. The students regularly search the Internet to work with the required lecture syllabi, computer-based dictionaries and reference books. The findings indicate that the above mentioned training aids cannot be adopted by almost one fifth of the surveyed higher school students. The students feel lack of information on traditional training aids placed in the electronically-based sources. Qualitative research further revealed the qualities of traditional and electronically-based training aids. The electronically-based training aids are more effective in retrieving and adopting information. The traditional training aids are not supposed to be very efficient and visually perfect. Moreover, the Internet rather than the course books presents more precise and up-to-date data. The traditional training aids are more comfortable, user-friendly and adjusted to making marks with a pencil. Keywords: electronically-based training aids, databases

The ecological environmental education is one of educational area directly related with safe and clean environment ant to keep it safe. This is so important to humanity. This insists changes of humans thinking and lifestyle. Scientists and educator practices unanimously highlights that for the ecological environmental education has to be paid big attention in the family, espacially in the preschool institution, because the environmental education in the childhood creates the strong foundation for the moral values, practical skilss and forms environmental motives. Also it is very important that in the preshool institutionthis education area would be scheduled and to use for that various tools of education. One of those tools are environmental events, which content considering to the specifity of the environmental education hould be orientate to prior of environmental areas: the pollution and protection of the air: the pollution and protection of the water; the pollution and protection of the soil; Biot (plants and animals) protection; the problem of rubbishes and also the protection from the phisical pollution (e.g. noise). The empirical research analysed teachers of the preschool institutions the organising of the environmental events experience showed that at the preshool education period teachers organises various environmental events. Today the most often event for the children are various environmental projects, which the most ar about the water, as the component of the environment, its pollution and the protection.Also quite many events ar for animals and plants, their protection and guardenship. Less then half respondents organised projects for the very important and so much emphasizing rubbish problem. Very popular for the preschool children and often are used in the environmental education are exhibitions. They ar very various: drawings, crafts, pictures, creatures. The most of respondents organised exhibitions of rubbishes and its clearing, sorting area, dedicated to the variaty of plants and animals, their guardenship and protection. The other events according to their organising ratio frequancy the priority thay distinguished: environmental competitions, action, excursions/trips, events and remnant. Key words: environmental education, environmental events, environmental content (areas).
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.
