Abstract

Purpose The article presents the methodological, theoretical and technological (procedural) components of establishing and developing environmental culture among bachelor students. Design/methodology/approach The methodology of developing the components of the environmental culture is described in the article from the systemic approach standpoint. The theoretical part of the article presents the didactic mechanisms for organizing regional studies work to accompany the “Regional Studies Work in Primary School” course. The procedural part of the research shows the educational WebQuests offered to undergraduate students as group projects that involve the student’s searching activity with the use of modern web technologies. The process of conducting the “Regional Studies Puzzles” geo-game consists of the organizational (route development), tourist-oriented (its taking and completing), projection (registering the obtained results) stages that bring students closer to recognizing environmental culture as a positive value. The implementation of the third organizational form of regional studies work—the W. Disney—method allows the subject of the educational process to foster an environmental culture in a bachelor student by creating a situation in which one person can analyze, evaluate and criticize their own thoughts and ideas generated by solving an environmental problem from three different standpoints. Findings The conducted research and analysis of its results made it possible to draw a conclusion about the feasibility of implementing the indicated forms of geographic regional studies organization in the process of fostering an environmental culture among the undergraduate students in the educational environment of a higher education institution.
