The requirements are given for the teacher of the leading and structural elements of conducting psychological and environmental trainings for the formation of ecological culture in the elementary classes of the New Ukrainian school. The educational principles are singled out for the pupils of primary school age during the conducting of ecological-psychological trainings of natural sciences. In trainings, the teacher focuses on the formation, development and systematization of the knowledge and skills that children need to perform specific personal, educational or nature-conservation tasks, and seeks to increase the motivation of participants to improve their own academic achievements and behaviors. Ecological and psychological trainings are intended to familiarize the younger generation with existing environmental realities, to encourage it to act, to encourage participation in solving local ecological problems, to interest and equip with ecological knowledge and to form ecological skills. The training sessions are also aimed at developing skills of cooperation and tolerance during group interaction, stimulating emotional emancipation of junior schoolchildren, forming communicative and reflexive qualities in them.
We emphasize that the implementation of most exercises does not require expensive and complex material provision, however, the effectiveness of ecological and psychological training is significantly increased if appropriately arrange a venue (zoo, ecological club, class, etc.).
