It sets out from teaching principles and contains recommendations based on their own experience and knowledge of environmental education, general didactics, pedagogy and ethics. The proposed teaching rules ought to stimulate the teacher’s creativity and they ought to help the teachers of today and future to find the suitable way of environmental appeal. The teacher ought to create the conditions of the student’s motivation by his own attitude, behaviour, professionalism and personal conviction. Global environmental problems cause the need of a complex system, especially systematic environmental education leading to the basic change of thinking and acting of people in relation to the environment.
