This article examines how interactive methods can support the development of students’ ecological culture in inclusive education. It proposes teaching arrangements that connect environmental knowledge with discussion, cooperative inquiry, practical decision making, and reflection on everyday behaviour. Particular attention is given to accessible materials, flexible participation, individual support, and assessment aligned with shared learning objectives. Examples include environmental scenarios, collaborative observations, role play, and classroom investigations concerning water, paper, and plant care. The article addresses educational practice in Uzbekistan and the preparation of future teachers at pedagogical universities. It is conceptual and methodological, presenting no intervention findings or measured changes in students’ behaviour. Its contribution is an adaptable framework for planning and evaluating inclusive environmental learning.
