The relevance of the ecological sphere development in education is due to the increase in crisis phenomena in the natural environment, which has been going on for several decades despite the efforts of the international community to achieve harmonious coexistence of people and nature. We need to find and understand the reasons for such contradictions and gaps between the declaration of goals-ideals in interaction with nature and the real state of affairs. This necessitates a deep critical analysis of the past experience in organizing environmental education, identifying the causes of its inefficiency, as well as the best effective practices, the use of which should be disseminated in today's conditions. In this regard, the historical and pedagogical interpretation of environmental education issues acquires important scientific and socio-cultural significance. At the same time, there is a need to turn to the works already existing in this area, to identify researchers who are engaged in historical and pedagogical understanding of the issues of the formation and development of environmental education in Russia and in other countries. That is why the purpose of the article is to analyze the current state of scientific knowledge in the field of studying the historical and pedagogical aspects of environmental education, as well as to identify promising areas for further research of the past ecological and pedagogical experience. The tenets set forth in the works of leading Russian historians of pedagogy devoted to the characteristics of methodology and theory of historical and pedagogical knowledge (M.V. Boguslavsky, G.B. Kornetov) served as the methodological basis for this analysis). The analysis presented in the article resulted in identifying the characteristic features of the modern historical and pedagogical understanding of the issues of the formation and development of environmental education sphere, as well as in identifying areas relevant for further scientific research. The conclusions obtained as a result of the study complement the theory and methodology of environmental education and may be of interest for the development of eco-oriented historical and pedagogical knowledge.
