Abstract

Nature is an important means of harmonious development of the child. Vasily Sukhomlinsky noted that “nature has a huge educational factor that leaves its imprint on the entire nature of the pedagogical process.” The development of environmental knowledge in geography lessons using the pedagogical heritage of V.A. Sukhomlinsky is relevant, we focus on the development of environmental knowledge, not ecological culture, we believe that ecology is a narrowly biological science, where the influence of the environment on living organisms and vice versa is considered. And Sukhomlinsky, after all, focused on nature protection. Therefore, it is necessary to develop environmental knowledge in geography lessons. Active communication with nature gives birth and strengthens a child’s priceless quality inherent in human personality, kindness. But how can a child experience the joy of the first discoveries when he enters the strange world around him? How to turn nature into a powerful means of educating humane feelings? And will the student be able to assimilate the connections between phenomena, to realize the dependence between natural objects? It turns out that maybe the easiest way to do this is observation. Children especially like to watch animals. Here noted very subtly A. Sukhomlinsky: it is necessary to develop in a child a careful and caring attitude towards helpless creatures that are so easy to offend, but, having protected them, you will feel kind and strong. V.A. Sukhomlinsky called the lessons journeys to the source of thinking and speech — to the wonderful beauty of nature. He advised to open a window into the world of beauty of the word gradually, so as not to overexert the child’s mind and not bother him.
