The development of ecological culture in primary school students is a critical aspect of modern education, reflecting society's growing concern for environmental sustainability. This study explores the methodology of forming ecological culture in younger learners using an integrated pedagogical approach. The research combines traditional didactic methods with interactive environmental activities, emphasizing the role of school, family, and community partnerships. An experimental study was conducted in selected schools involving 180 students over six months. Data were collected using qualitative and quantitative methods, including classroom observations, interviews, and ecological literacy assessments. The results show that students exposed to structured ecological education programs demonstrated significant improvements in environmental awareness, attitudes, and behavioral practices. The study concludes with methodical recommendations for educators and policymakers. The findings contribute to a growing body of knowledge advocating early ecological education as a foundation for lifelong sustainable behavior and responsible citizenship.
