One of the main reasons for the priority of science education is the change of priorities in relation to person with his environment, the transition
from anthropocentric to ecocentric environmental consciousness. Construction of the content of ecological education, formation of ecological culture
is determined on the basis of a set of principles: philosophical and methodological, methodical and didactic and organizational and pedagogical. The
new paradigm of higher education is organizationally embodied in multilevel and diversification. The semantic and technological components of the
restoration of education have not yet been fully worked out, and therefore require in-depth study and psychological and pedagogical justification,
without which new initiatives risk remaining more or less successful empirical inclusions in the traditional education system. The basic principles of
innovative education can and should be the basis for the analysis of new functions and new content of science education. Within the new paradigm,
science education can and should become a socially and personally significant factor, thanks to the huge content, cognitive, ideological and
methodological potential of its foundations.
The new paradigm of science education, based on its conceptually new principles, should, at the same time, contributes to reaching a qualitatively
new level of the most important characteristic of modern education – its integrity. Preservation of the integrity and diversity of natural ecosystems is
a condition for maintaining the spiritual and physical health of man, its biological existence. Therefore, there is a need to create a stable balance
between human economic interests, on the one hand, and the preservation of its environment – on the other. A person must change himself to
eliminate the existing priorities of the economy over the environment. To do this, it is necessary to fill the education system with new content, to form
a knowledge base through which the individual and society as a whole could come to balance. The supra-subject and integrative nature of ecology
and economy in many aspects determines their system-forming role in the educational process.
