Environmental project “Young ecologists”

Project on environmental education of preschool children.

Project name:

"Young ecologists".

Relevance:

People living in the modern world of society have many problems. But perhaps one of the most acute and pressing is the problem of environmental conservation. We are already accustomed to conversations that the world is on the brink of an environmental catastrophe, that every day more and more new species of plants and animals are disappearing on Earth. We physically suffer from air, water and soil pollution. We have a good command of the culture of behavior in society, but we do not always know how to behave correctly in relation to nature. Sometimes there is a feeling that children treat living objects of nature as inanimate objects. Sometimes a child is delighted at the sight of a flower or a butterfly and at the same time can madly crush an ant running along the path. Why does an emotionally responsive child have so much coldness and indifference? Isn't it from us adults? After all, sometimes parents themselves are an example of environmental incivility: dad broke a branch and brushes away mosquitoes. But the teacher’s position on this issue can change this situation. Communication between children and nature, organized by the teacher, the content of knowledge accessible to the age of children arouses sustained interest, stimulates the desire to care for nature and protect it. Therefore, in the context of the global environmental crisis that humanity is experiencing, there is a need for continuous environmental education, the main goal of which is to form a new type of attitude towards nature based on nurturing an individual’s ecological culture. Preschool age can be considered as the initial stage of environmental education, since it is during this period of life that the child acquires the foundations of personal culture, its basis, corresponding to a wide range of universal human values.

The formation of the foundations of ecological culture in a preschool educational institution can be carried out in various forms: environmental studies, observations of natural phenomena, in the process of caring for plants, specially organized game-based learning situations, targeted excursions, holidays, etc. A special place is occupied by integrative classes that involve a combination of various types of activities, including motor, play and creative.

Problem situation:

To teach children, together with their parents, to love the nature of their native land, its past and future. Make sure that children and adults try to change their attitude towards nature and behavior towards it.

Goal setting:

Only through joint interaction with the family and different forms, methods and techniques of work: observations, conversations, environmental games, reading fiction with environmental content, including work in nature in everyday life, can we talk about the formation of an environmental culture in preschool children.

Objective of the project:

Formation of environmental culture in children, knowledge about their native land, education of a conscious - caring attitude towards nature.

Main objectives of the project:

1. Formation of a system of elementary environmental knowledge accessible to the understanding of a preschool child about his native land.
2. Create a positive emotional background that will facilitate the child’s acquisition of knowledge about his native land.
3. Development of cognitive interest in the natural world of the native land and the ability to reflect this in artistic and productive activities.
4. Formation of initial skills and habits of environmentally literate behavior that is safe for nature and for the child himself.
5. Fostering environmental knowledge, love for nature, and personal responsibility for its preservation.
6. Involving parents in cooperation with the kindergarten in matters of environmental education of preschoolers.
