Regulatory and methodological support for the formation of environmental competence in students of higher educational institutions

the purpose of this article is to structure the normative and methodological support for the formation of environmental competence in students of higher educational institutions. To achieve the goal, it is necessary to solve the following problems: 1. analysis of regulatory documents governing environmental education and requirements for environmental training of students; 2. identification of federal state educational standards containing environmental competencies; 3. study of labor functions corresponding to environmental competencies. As a result of the study, 118 federal state educational standards were studied and it was revealed that 34 of them contain competencies in the field of nature management, environmental protection, and solving environmental problems. Based on the studied federal state educational standards, professional standards were studied and labor functions associated with an environmental focus were identified. After studying the regulatory documents governing education in the field of ecology, researching federal state educational standards containing environmental competencies and identifying labor functions related to environmental competencies, a structure of regulatory and methodological support for the formation of environmental competence was formed. The practical application of this structure will consist in the fact that it can be used in the development of curricula taking into account the requirements for environmental competencies defined in federal state educational standards and professional standards, as well as in the formation of criteria for assessing the formation of environmental competence, including the development of assessment tools (tests, cases, projects).
