THE FORMATION OF ECOLOGICAL CONCEPTS IN PHARMACEUTICAL TECHNICAL COLLEGE STUDENTS DURING MULTI-FORMAT TRAINING AT THE BOTANICAL GARDEN

In Russia, along with other educational institutions, the acquisition of systematic knowledge in biology and ecology is provided by educational organisations of the secondary vocational education system, however, botanical gardens, which represent a “multifunctional scientific and educational resource”, provide extensive capabilities and methods of transferring knowledge about plant objects. The author of the article analyses the prerequisites for the implementation of various forms of interaction between educational organisations of secondary vocational education (using the example of the Pharmaceutical College of the Saint Petersburg State Chemical and Pharmaceutical University) with the Peter the Great Botanical Garden in order to expand the capabilities of an educational organisation in the formation of environmental concepts among students using the collection of living plants in the garden. The article describes the experience of creating multi-format training for students of a pharmaceutical college in the botanical garden.
