Transdisciplinary potential of the cultural landscape and its implementation in the environmental education of future teachers

Environmental education in the current conditions of the aggravated environmental situation is considered as a strategic priority of modern society and the most important condition for national security. The key link in solving this problem is the teacher. It is the environmental training and education of the teacher that determines the appearance of an environmentally-oriented person of the future. These provisions update the research topic. At the same time, the training of a teacher within the framework of the existing subject-centric model does not allow one to fully form an understanding of the unity and self-worth of a person and the socio-natural environment surrounding him. In this regard, of particular importance in environmental education is the appeal to the objects of the real socio-natural environment, materializing the ideas of cocreation of man and nature. One of these objects is the cultural landscape, the transdisciplinary potential of which will make it possible to implement the ideas of coevolution in the environmental education of future teachers. The purpose of the article: to identify and reveal the transdisciplinary potential of the cultural landscape, reflecting the cocreation of man and nature, as well as the possibilities of its implementation in the environmental education of future teachers using the example of a transdisciplinary module. In the course of the study, the following set of methods was used: structural analysis, synthesis, systematization and generalization of scientific literature, design and construction. The comprehension of the problem was carried out in the context of the ideas and provisions of the transdisciplinary, coevolutionary subject-activity, integral, landscape-environment approaches. Within the framework of the study, the transdisciplinary potential of the cultural landscape is defined and substantiated, which makes it possible to synthesize various «languages» of cultural assimilation of reality, ways of knowing science, art and other areas of spiritual experience. The features and structure of the transdisciplinary cultural and environmental module «Ecological education in the context of the coevolutionary educational paradigm», the psychological, pedagogical and methodological foundations of its implementation within the framework of the master's program are disclosed. It has been established that the transdisciplinary potential of the cultural landscape makes it possible to realize in the environmental education of future teachers the ideas of cocreation, coevolution of man and nature as the worldview base of modern environmental education and upbringing. The identified theoretical provisions were the basis for the development of the author's transdisciplinary cultural environmental module aimed at the environmental education of future teachers.
