Abstract
The article analyzes the significance of Vasyl Sukhomlinsky’s literary works for children as a means of environmental education for children of primary school age. The unused potential possibilities of the literary heritage of the great humanist of the 20th century Vasyl Sukhomlinsky for the formation of the spiritual world of a growing personality are shown. Vasyl Alexandrovich – the author of about 1500 fairy tales and stories, the relevance of his creativity every time acquires new aspects. He is rightly attributed to the cohort of children’s writers. The works of a scientist-pedagogue are distinguished by a great educational power: any fairy tale or narrative is a kind of program for the upbringing and development of the child, whose effectiveness lies in the absence of direct didacticism, obsessive mentoring. Tales about nature occupy a prominent place in the literary heritage of V. Sukhomlynsky. Today, in the context of reforming the Ukrainian school, the creative legacy of an innovative educator is experiencing its apogee. Among the Ukrainian tales, the figure of the director of Pavlysh has a special monumentality, his work is deep thematic, rich in ideology, and serves as an effective teaching material at the lessons of natural science. The works of V. Sukhomlynsky for children need to be more widely introduced into the educational process of elementary school, and the ideas of the School of the sky are of particular relevance in connection with the reform of the Ukrainian school. V. Sukhomlynsky’s tales always contain information about the environment, the relationship of living organisms with each other and with the environment, and therefore these works become the source of the formation of ecological concepts, turning into effective didactic means. Such ecological works teach the child the scientific vision of the world, in an interesting form they help her to comprehend the complex phenomena of nature. The problem of education of the ethical and ecological values of the individual is one of the cornerstones of ethics, pedagogy, psychology, philosophy, where the key tasks are education of kindness, sensitivity, love of nature, all living things, readiness to protect nature, multiply its wealth, etc. V. Sukhomlynsky’s tales is a source that can form such feelings in junior pupils. Consequently, their use in the lessons of natural science is a necessary condition for the process of forming the personality of the child-naturalism, a child-naturalist, a child-environmentalist. V. Sukhomlinsky’s tales highlight the important problem of the present – preservation of the environment as a global task facing humanity. They teach how to prevent barbaric attitudes toward nature. The answer is simple: this should be taught from the very birth of a child, to begin to educate the ecological culture of the person with a mother, since children at an early age are very emotional, sensitive and merciful, perceiving nature as a living organism. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on ethical and ecological education, first of all, on the formation of a positive attitude of the child towards the environment, to teach them to love, to care for everything alive, to use natural resources with care.
