Abstract
The article presents the results of the analysis of the process of expansion and diversity of communication channels in the university environment, which is relevant from the standpoint of achieving the goals of sustainable development in the field of education. It is shown that one of the most accessible and open communication channels, in which modern students are actively involved, is the channel of environmental communications. They have many manifestations, which corresponds to the most exceptionally wide ecological space, reflecting both individual and collective interests, features of a narrow professional attitude to nature and its civilizational understanding. A significant part of the disciplines studied in higher education contributes to the formation of students' environmental competencies. The specificity of the ecological approach to education and upbringing contributes to involvement of students in activities for the nature protection. The regularities of environmental communications functioning can be traced on the example of environmental education carried out at the Moscow Automobile Road State Technical University (MADI).
Highlights
Scientists' attention to environmental problems became clearly visible when this environment began to show its unfriendly attitude towards humans
The space was designated for scientific discourse, and for social activity aimed at preserving nature. This required both development of the newest science — ecology, and allocation of environmental communication channels that could be filled with nature-saving meanings that attract caring people
The main source of the research presented in this article was the pedagogical practice at Moscow Automobile Road State Technical University (MADI), where environmental issues are widely introduced into the content of various training courses based on use of an integrative approach and use of transdisciplinary methods
Summary
Scientists' attention to environmental problems became clearly visible when this environment began to show its unfriendly attitude towards humans This process was triggered by accelerated industrialization. It began in the second half of the 19th century, when people from the countryside moved en masse to the sprawling cities. They got a job working for industrial enterprises, increasing the pressure on nature in the megalopolises formed at that time. The space was designated for scientific discourse, and for social activity aimed at preserving nature This required both development of the newest science — ecology, and allocation of environmental communication channels that could be filled with nature-saving meanings that attract caring people
