Abstract
Reflecting on the problems of interaction between society and nature, the author reveals a number of contradictions regarding the existence of two basic models of education: the techno-economic and environmental-humanistic ones, which correspond to the techno-economic or eco-humanistic world outlooks. A certain role in changing the public world outlook is played by education; more precisely, by its new models and principles which will allow in the future to minimize or eliminate the insoluble contradictions in the «society - nature» system. In view of these contradictions, there is considered in the article the problem of development of environmental education in the ethnopedagogics of the Buryat people taking into account the ethnoecological traditions, which are demanded in modern conditions of reforming the domestic education. The ethnoecological traditions of the titular nation of Buryatia, the accumulated unique experience of harmonious human interaction with the natural environment, the methods of its transmission, on one hand, and the threat of loss of this uniqueness, on the other, all this requires a special study involving a variety of sources and should be taken into account when developing the concept of development of the Buryat national school in the modern conditions.
