ECOLOGICAL SAFETY IN THE ECOLOGICAL CONSCIOUSNESS OF PEDAGOGICAL UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Abstract

Despite the availability of scientific materials related to social well-being, environmental awareness and a sense of environmental safety in it among the population, there is still not enough research, especially domestic, on the example of individual groups of the population, for example, students. However, this is also necessary for developing solutions to the global environmental problem and its local manifestations. It is especially important in this regard to appeal to the ecological consciousness of students of a pedagogical university, who in the near future will carry their knowledge and feelings into the environment of the younger generation of the country. Ecological safety is considered by us as the basis of ecological consciousness in the structure of public consciousness. The aim of the work was to assess the feeling of environmental safety and readiness to combat possible environmental hazards among first-year students of a pedagogical university. The main methods used in the study are the dialectical method, methods of mass survey and comparative data analysis. Results. With the severity of the affective-evaluative component of environmental consciousness, students of the pedagogical university found a greater readiness for environmental behavior than other social groups.
