TRAINING FUTURE PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS FOR ECONOMIC UPBRINGING OF PUPILS IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALIZATION PROCESSES

Abstract

The paper focuses on one of the issues of training highly qualified specialists of the modern school that is training future primary school teachers for the economic upbringing of younger pupils in the context of globalization processes. The author emphasizes the significant gap between the real state of affairs in general secondary education, higher education institution and today’s challenges, as well as the lack of coordination between them which does not allow one to provide the economic component of professional teacher training. The article aims to justify pedagogical conditions and means ensuring effective training of prospective primary school teachers for economic education of pupils. The systemic-functional method allowed one to identify the areas in the training of prospective primary school teachers for economic education and the systemic-structural method to identify and justify practical recommendations. The study and generalization of pedagogical experience became possible due to the empirical method. Primary school teachers play an essential role in solving this particular issue. Their purposeful training depends on the quality of training and upbringing of young people, as well as full inclusion in life and effective work under modern conditions of social development. Thus, one can conclude that professional training of future primary school teachers is not focused on the development of economic knowledge in younger pupils. In this case, economic self-study presented to younger pupils based on their life experience is likely to have negative results since it does not offer pupils different approaches to solving this or that issue. The introduction of primary school counselling, didactic and economics in the curricula for training future primary school teachers should have a positive impact on their expertise and ability to provide quality education and upbringing of pupils.
