Course content
The educational discipline "Geoecology" is devoted to consideration of a number of geoecological issues (the concept of geoecology and its sections that study the ecological problems of the lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, pedosphere, biosphere, g/e justification of nature management projects, optimization of the "nature - population - economy" system). It is divided into two meaningful parts (modules), which reveal the theoretical and applied aspects of geoecology. It is aimed at the formation of special geographical competences in students, in particular content (empirical and theoretical knowledge), operational (skills, skills, methods of educational and cognitive activity and the experience of their application to solve problems of a theoretical and practical nature) and outlook (geographic picture of the world, emotional valuable attitude to the environment and human activity in it, acquired creative activity) components.
