The article substantiates and systematizes innovative pedagogical technologies for the environmental education of primary school pupils in the contemporary educational space. The relevance of the study is driven by the escalation of global and local environmental problems and the need to form environmental culture from an early age. It is argued that primary school is a sensitive period for developing a value-based attitude toward nature, environmental responsibility, and behavior oriented toward sustainable development. The paper examines the psychological and pedagogical characteristics of environmental education of children aged 6-10 and defines the structure of environmental culture, which includes cognitive, emotional – value-based, and activity-behavioral components. The results of a summative experiment conducted among primary school pupils indicate the predominance of medium and low levels of environmental education across all criteria. Particular attention is paid to the effectiveness of innovative technologies, including project- and activity-based, research- and inquiry-based, STEM/STEAM-oriented, game-based, digital, nature-oriented, and partnership practices. It is shown that their systematic implementation through interdisciplinary integration, activity-based learning, and partnership pedagogy promotes the development of environmental competence, environmental thinking, and environmentally appropriate behavior in primary school pupils. Prospects for further research are linked to the development of integrated models of environmental education in the context of sustainable development.References
