Abstract
Aim. The aim of the research is to study the influence of ecological education on the formation of a world outlook for the sustainable development of the society (on the example of schools in the Kizilyurt district of the Republic of Dagestan). Materials and methods. The results of a questionnaire survey of pupils of 5-11 grades and school teachers of 19 schools in the Kizilyurt District served as the materials for the study. The questionnaires were developed at the Institute of Ecology and Sustainable Development (Dagestan State University) which were also successfully tested in other regions of the republic. The data was processed using standard tools as the Statistica and Excel programs. Results. Analysis of the results of the questionnaire survey of pupils in schools in the Kizilyurt District allowed drawing conclusions about the quality of environmental education. The results of the research reveal shortcomings in the planning and content of school curricula. The questionnaires showed unsatisfactory level of the environmental awareness as well as the fact that the only means of receiving environmental knowledge by students is during the study of biology and geography.
Conclusion. The authors evaluated the environmental awareness of students, formulated recommendations for improving the training system and its content for sustainable development of the society.
