Abstract

Economic education, in our opinion, can not only create special economic knowledge and skills relevant in modern conditions, but also develop the socially-claimed personality qualities (initiative, independence, entrepreneurship), to form moral and value motives of economic activity (motives of social responsibility, creative cooperation in the process of socially meaningful activity, achievement of strong socio-professional status, material well-being). Therefore, a very important task of modern education is the formation of economic competence precisely at the lessons of the economy. Under the economic competence of a modern student they understand the totality of economic knowledge and practical skills, economic culture and thinking, experience, the presence of sustainable needs and interest in professional competence. Scientists define the following components of economic competence: a set of economic knowledge; economic consciousness; economic thinking; economic quality. Formation of economic competence in students takes place in the process of acquiring various economic knowledge, development of skills and abilities, management and solving of problem situations that arise in the educational process and the life of students. The development of economic competence not only reflects the depth of knowledge of economics in students, but also helps to increase their skills, abilities, and improve their personal qualities. Formation and development of components of economic competence are provided by the corresponding complexes of theoretical knowledge and practical actions, their activation with the active participation of teachers of economy. The main ways of forming an economically competent personality of a student are: adherence to the necessary minimum amount of knowledge, skills and abilities of the students specified in the “Concept of Development of Economic Education”; to provide the educational process with an appropriate material and technical base; providing students with the information resources of the Internet on economics education and economics; use of interactive forms and methods of training; widespread use of interdisciplinary connections; availability of an appropriate training and methodological base on economics; the combination of theoretical teaching material with life and the formation of the practical application of the knowledge gained; involvement of students into extracurricular work in economics; participation in competitions and contests on economics. Consequently, the formation of the economic competence of pupils in KSSO at the lessons of the economy will be effective when it is systematic and consistent. Indeed, economic competence is the economic knowledge and experience acquired due to education and training, oriented towards the formation of the student as a subject of life and culture, ones active integration into society.
