The possibilities of implementing the ideas of sustainable development in the content of school geography

Abstract

The article analyzes the possibilities of implementing the ideas of sustainable development in school geography. A review of the literature conducted through keywords shows that there are problems in introducing the ideas of sustainable development into school geography curricula, which is due to the different status of the geography subject in different countries and the predominance of some sustainable development goals over others. In particular, the school geography is dominated by the environmental component of the sustainable development goals, it is expressed mainly in the form of suggestions on how to behave in nature, etc. The results of the analysis of the content of the school geography curriculum in Kazakhstan are presented. In addition, within the framework of the geography course at the school, an attempt was made to identify the main ways to implement the ideas of sustainable development.
