Modern environmental problems are not limited only to biological content; in recent decades, environmental research has acquired a social orientation, regulating the relations of the "man-Nature-Society" system, which has led to the emergence and development of a new branch of management ecology, social ecology. The ideas of social ecology include the intervention of Man and humanity in all natural systems; the rate of evolution and change of natural systems under the influence of anthropogenic factors; the relative and characteristic influence of geological forces and man on natural systems. The concept of social ecology in general develops directly in relation to socio-economic problems, so there is a need to integrate the branches of natural, social and technical science to solve it. This integration, firstly, will affect the conduct of new interdisciplinary research, and secondly, the environmental content of existing disciplines will be provided methodically and methodically. The new stage of the relationship between man and society is characterized by systematic approaches, so it is necessary to reorientate school education to the formation of a scientific picture of the modern world. We see this in the ecologization of Natural Science subjects in school by linking them together. Environmental education is now fully integrated into school programs, and its new component, socio-ecology, is beginning to manifest itself. The article discusses the essence of the socio-ecological concept in the content of natural science disciplines and the problems of the relationship between man and nature.
