Abstract

The article presents a comprehensive theoretical analysis and scientific substantiation of the pedagogical significance of educational mobile applications in shaping the ecological worldview of learners under conditions of educational digitalization. The relevance of the study is determined by the need to identify effective innovative tools capable of integrating cognitive, value-based, and activity-oriented components of environmental education in response to contemporary sustainable development challenges. Based on an analysis of scientific literature, the study clarifies the essence of educational mobile applications as an interactive digital learning environment that combines the presentation of educational content, organization of cognitive activity, and communicative interaction. The research identifies the key didactic features of mobile applications, including interactivity, multimodality, adaptability, the capacity to simulate real environmental situations, and support for continuous learning. It is demonstrated that these characteristics contribute to the development of systemic ecological thinking, critical analytical skills, and the internalization of environmental values. The article substantiates that mobile applications effectively support competency-based and activity-oriented educational approaches by creating conditions for learners’ active participation in research, project-based, and practice-oriented activities. Particular attention is paid to the potential of mobile applications as innovative tools of digital environmental education. Their use is shown to facilitate the integration of cognitive, axiological, and behavioural components of ecological worldview formation through combining theoretical knowledge with practical experience. It is emphasised that the effectiveness of educational mobile applications depends on scientifically grounded pedagogical design, alignment of content with environmental education principles, and adequate methodological support. The article concludes that educational mobile applications represent a promising means of modernizing environmental education by fostering environmentally conscious, responsible, and socially active individuals. Prospects for further research include the development of methodological models for integrating mobile applications into educational practice and establishing criteria for evaluating their effectiveness in shaping learners’ ecological worldview.
