摘要：An interest in the living environment develops early on – from the moment a child begins to understand and examine the world around it. During its early experiences, the child receives its first information about its living environment from its parents, followed by preschool education and then school as its main source of information. A classic form of organizing the process of education involves environmental content, but within certain subjects such as, for example, biology, while contemporary trends in the education process place much more emphasis on ecological worldview and offer more possibilities for environmental education. Some of these possibilities are working with students in specially designed school environments such as the organization of classes in environmental classrooms. These “alternative” ways of conducting classes enable the development of environmental culture and consciousness, as key dimensions of such education. Environmental classroom entails organizing school classes in nature. Within natural environment the child has the possibility to connect educational and life contents. This type of educational work represents a desirable environment for wider pedagogical and psychological development of child’s complete personality, especially those characteristics that will contribute to its environmental culture and consciousness. We can include in this concept environmental games and projects as educational methods.
