Environmental upbringing is one of the priority areas in the general system of education, aimed at the harmonious development of man, his civic consciousness. Therefore, it cannot be considered as a separate form of education.

In the scientific and pedagogical literature, environmental upbringing and upbringing are interpreted as a psychological and pedagogical process of human impact in order to form knowledge of the scientific foundations of nature, the necessary beliefs and practical skills, a certain orientation and active social position in environmental protection, environmental management and reproduction of natural resources. Modern theory and methods of vocational education offers a concept of philosophical and psychological-pedagogical foundations of the process of professional environmental upbringing of future primary school teachers, emphasizing the role of methods and technologies by which it is possible to implement the content of environmental upbringing, implementing the highest ideals and standards of ecological educated personality of the teacher. The authors argue that the actualization of the tasks of preparing future primary school teachers for environmental upbringing of primary school students is due to modern socio-cultural circumstances, which allows the formation of environmentally educated personalities capable of self-application of environmental knowledge and skills. Key words: environmental upbringing, primary school student, teacher training.
