THE INNOVATIVE METHODS OF TEACHING "THE WORLD AROUND US"

One of the reasons for the intensive pollution of the environment is the low level of ecological culture and the indifference of people to violations of balanced natural processes in a result of human productive activity. The solution of modern environmental problems is impossible without creating an effective system of ecological education and upbringing of the younger generation. The article reveals new methods of teaching the school subject "The World Around Us" based on folk wisdom, holidays, traditions passed from generation to generation. National pedagogy is considered to be an effective tool of ecological education, because it is addressed to the person, his present and future, to ethno culture. It forces us to think, to look at ourselves from the outside, so that our own mistakes and imperfections do not turn into mistakes and imperfection of our children. The Republic of Tatarstan is ready to accept new ideas, innovative teaching methods in order to improve the efficiency of education. In particular, a new textbook of "The World Around Us" has just been printed and Professor Khusainov Z. A. is a co-author of it.
