Developing the environmental values of civil engineering students in educational space

Abstract

Environmental issues have become much more acute in the modern world than they were in the last century. Therefore, the organisation of ecological culture has become the main task of educational institutions. The relevance of the topic is explained by the fact that the formation of ecological values in young people is the basis of modern education, which is explained by the increased interest in ecology, both on the part of the legislator and the public. As a result, today the inculcation of ecological values starts from early childhood up to adolescence. However, this does not make the task easier for teachers and students. The object of the research is to develop environmental values among civil engineering students. The aim of the work is to consider the peculiarities of the formation of ecological values among civil engineering students. The main methodology of the work is a systematic analysis of theoretical and empirical material. The works of specialists in the field of methodological support of the educational process, as well as the organization of environmental education were analyzed. A sociological survey of civil engineering students was conducted. The results are presented in the form of a sociological survey that showed the gaps in the educational programmes and the possibilities to overcome them. The conclusions propose activities for the formation of environmental values among civil engineering students. These suggestions can be useful for HEIs and teachers at different levels of education.
