A study of actual problems of ecology of the child in the graduate course of the pedagogical university
The summary of ecology of the child as a section of human ecology is presented. Basic principles of organization of educational process in studying the ecology of the child by graduate students are considered. The author shows a system of tasks developed by her own. The system consists of a portfolio, carried out by every student for a certain period, as well as of individual tasks for some students for a final examination. The task with a portfolio includes two kinds, one of which (for example, to compile a list of adverse effects on child's health in prenatal and postnatal periods) is to be fulfilled by every student, while another is to be considered as a creative job (to keep a diary with the events occurring in a city or in a district and affecting upon the child's health).
