Environmental Education of Children in the Yakut Family on the Example of Studying a Sayylyk Manor

Abstract

The paper presents the educational process in the Yakut family aimed at forming the ecological culture of children. Family environmental education is understood as the process of implementing various ecological projects in order to educate the younger generation of love and respect for native nature. In this paper, such an eco-project is the long-term joint activity of children and adults to study and conserve the species diversity of wild flowering plants on the territory of the sayylyk (summer) manor. The authors highlight factors that have a positive impact on children’s attitude towards environmental protection. The optimal ways to educate the ecological culture of children are determined. The research materials can be used by subject teachers to prepare lessons and increase pupils’ interest in practice-oriented activities.
