MAIN ASPECTS OF CREATION OF A COMPETENTCE-ORIENTED ECONOMICS TEXTBOOK

Abstract

The article deals with the topical issues related to the development of the methodology of economics and geography teaching and textbooks in this field of education. The experimental experience of using educational activities in the context of these subjects shows that their implementation succeeds when the teacher realizes that the student, not a teacher, should be a central figure in education, and the main approach to learning is the system-activity approach, not the memorizing and reproducing certain skills and abilities. This publication touches upon the prospects of economics education and economics and geography courses on a competence basis in the gymnasium and lyceum. Against this background, approaches are proposed that allow a pupil of a general secondary education to prepare for future professional activities. The main theses of the article are transmitted through the prism of creating a competenceoriented economics textbook for profile education in lyceum. The article states that economics, due to its complexity and meta-specific features, trains applicants of education for future life and professional activities.
A high-quality school economics textbook is based on the principles of child-centrism, when the following notions are important:
• structuring and selection of educational information;
• relevance and connection with the present;
• taking into account modern scientific knowledge;
• reflection of the system of science and culture in the content of education;
• humanization and system-activity approach;
