EVOLUTION OF THE OBJECT OF ENVIRONMENTAL KNOWLEDGE IN THE FRAMEWORK OF ECO-GENESIS
https://doi.org/10.18470/1992-1098-2016-1-37-58
Abstract
The aim is to consider the features of evolution and determine the nature of the object of ecological knowledge as a basis for professional activities of environmental engineer in the current situation.
Methods. The author suggests the approach, according to which for the understanding of the nature and current status of the object of professional activity of environmental engineer it is necessary to make an analysis of the peculiarities of the genesis of environmental science, which determined the formation of the aggregate of environmental knowledge as an instrument of "transfer" in the learning process from teacher to listener in its development over the historical time. This process is proposed to name eco-genesis, that is the historical development of environmental science content and pedagogy.
Results. The author suggests periodization of epochs eco-genesis which shows the change in ecological thought over the previous historical period. The analysis held on the results of such a periodization of all ages the development of ecological knowledge allowed to highlight some specific features of eco-genesis, namely the qualitative change of the object of ecological knowledge from organismic systems to a global technogenic and natural system, the development and complexity of the methodology of environmental research and studies, the transformation of environmental science from the individual scientific course to interdisciplinary scientific system. The author introduces a new class of systems – exartisphere, as an object of knowledge and environmental bases for the activity of environmental engineer in the modern, the sixth era of eco-genesis.
Main conclusions. The results can be recommended for use in practice, in order to highlight the essential content and new approaches in environmental science and pedagogy of the near future, as well as for the revision of the existing approaches to designing the content of training of environmental engineer.
