Abstract

The article addresses the issue of ensuring continuity in the formation of ecological competence among primary and lower secondary school students, which is one of the key tasks within the framework of the New Ukrainian School Concept. The relevance of the study is driven by the need to prepare the younger generation for conscious and responsible interaction with the environment, the ability to assess the consequences of their own actions, to make environmentally sound decisions in everyday life, and to participate in solving contempo rary global and local environmental challenges. It is emphasized that ensuring continuity between educational stages is viewed as a key factor that guarantees the integrity of the educational process, prevents fragmen tation of knowledge and duplication of content, promotes the gradual increase in complexity of learning mate rials, knowledge integration, the formation of ecological values, and the acquisition of practical experience in environmental protection activities. Theoretical analysis of pedagogical literature and current educational standards made it possible to iden tify a set of didactic conditions that determine the effectiveness of forming students’ ecological competence, namely: the development of a motivational and value-based attitude toward nature as the foundation of ecolog ical consciousness; purposeful integration of environmental issues into educational content to ensure the inter disciplinary nature of learning; ensuring conceptual continuity and gradual complication of ecological content at different levels of education; organizing students’ learning activities through their engagement in ecologically oriented practical tasks and project-based learning; and fostering reflective and evaluative ecological activities among students, which cultivates the ability for self-analysis, peer evaluation, and responsible attitudes toward learning outcomes. The proposed didactic guidelines can be used to enhance curricula, develop textbooks and methodological resources, and prepare teachers to implement environmentally oriented educational practices that respond to the current challenges of sustainable development and ensure continuity between primary and lower second ary education.
