Abstract

The article presents the results of practical activities aimed at shaping the environmental education and culture of students in modern educational conditions. The research materials were collected through surveys, interviews, questionnaires, and practical classes focused on developing the environmental culture of students, parents, and subject teachers in the city of Osh, as well as improving the state of the environment. The results of the study revealed certain discrepancies between theoretical knowledge and practical activities. The analysis of the data obtained was performed using descriptive statistics methods and is presented in percentage terms. Recommendations were developed based on the results of the study. The work also takes into account the results of practical exercises conducted at a municipal waste landfill in the Kurmanzhan Datka district of Osh, aimed at promoting environmental education among schoolchildren. It is noted that modern environmental education based on the principles of sustainable development should be not only theoretical but also practical, providing students with knowledge that can be applied to solving real environmental problems. The need to actively involve schoolchildren in understanding issues of environmental education and culture, as well as in practical activities, is emphasised.
