FORMATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL COMPETENCY OF STUDENTS OF BIOLOGICAL SPECIALTIES IN THE PROCESS OF POLISH PRACTICE

Organizational-process possibilities of the educational field practice for the purpose of ecological competence forming for the students of biological specialties have been presented in the article. Basic factors which complicate students ecological competence forming, fundamental directions of its formation in the process of organization and realization field practice have been underlined in the article.The content of field practice requires additional information on the methods of environmental monitoring in the environment and on the domestic issues. Particularly relevant is the saturation of field practices with the tasks of applied local history and those that affect the spheres of domestic activities and human impact on the environment. Methods of educational impact on students are also needed. Among the generally positive conditions for the formation of environmental competence of students (the presence of ecological content in the discipline, the possibility of self-realization  during seminars and laboratory classes, the practical application of acquired knowledge in field practice), there are factors that impede the formation of this quality. Among them is the lack of content of the environmental issues of the local rank and the practical absence of information relating to the domestic sphere of the person's activities (complicates the decision-making process and responsibility for the state of the surrounding environment), the prevailing use of educational and educational methods that contradict the norms of environmental behavior (make it impossible to form a value the attitude towards nature, environmental motivation and related activities, suppress the readiness to preserve nature and the responsibility for it with en).
