METHODOLOGY FOR DEVELOPING STUDENTS' TECHNICAL THINKING IN ECONOMICS LESSONS

Аннотация

The article considers the methodology for developing students' technical thinking in economics lessons and interactive forms and technologies for conducting lessons with students. Interactive education is a dialogic education that directs a person to develop his intellectual and creative abilities, self-development and self-education. The educational and training process should be organized using technologies that reflect the specifics of the field of study (in accordance with the profiles being implemented), ensure the quality of education, and contribute totheprofessional self-education andpersonal growth ofstudents. Keywords: interactive methods, dialogue, training, role-playing, brainstorming, modern computertelecommunications, portfolio. Examines in detail the methodology for developing students' technical thinking in economics lessons , forms of interactive teaching, and the use of modern technologies. The concept of interactive education is defined as dialogic education aimed at improving the intellectual and creative potential of the individual, self-development and self-education. This process involves creating an environment that encourages students to actively participate, forming their independent thinkingand creativeproblem-solving skills. The methodology for developing technical thinking in economics classes aims to enable students not only to acquire theoretical knowledge, but also to apply it in a practical context. The followingmethods are used: 1. Problem-Based Learning: Students are presented with real-world economic problems, such as market analysis, financial forecasting, or optimal resource allocation. They work in groups to analyze the problem, collect data, and develop solutions. This increases their critical thinkingand analytical skills. 2. Case Studies: Students are encouraged to study cases based on real business or economic situations. This helps them develop a deeper understanding of economic processes and decision- makingskills. 3. Simulation and Modeling: Using economic models and simulations, students can test economic processes in a virtual environment. For example, using specialized software to analyze market dynamics ortest investmentstrategies. Interactive teaching formats and technologies are important for making the learning process moreeffective. Below are themain methods: 1. Digital platforms: Online classes, webinars , and interactive discussions are organized through platforms such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Moodle , allowing students to actively participateeven from adistance. 2. Gamification: Incorporating game elements into the learning process, such as economic quizzes, business simulations, or competitive assignments, increases student interest and encourages them to actively participate. 3. Interactive whiteboards and multimedia tools: Smart boards, interactive presentations, and video materials make lessons more interesting and understandable. For example, economic graphs and charts can beanalyzed interactively. https://ijmri.de/index.php/jmsi volume 4,issue4,2025 674 4. Team Projects: Students develop teamwork, responsibility , and creativity by working in groups to develop a project. For example, a project to analyze a local economic problem and proposea solution. The specific features of the educational process are formed in accordance with the educational profiles in the field of economics. For example, in the areas of finance, marketing or international economics, educational programs are focused on the development of specific professional skills. At the same time, it is important to use modern technologies to ensure the quality of education, to stimulate students' professional self-education and to contribute to their personal growth. In this, the role of teachers is important not only as a transmitter of knowledge, butalso as aguide and inspirer. 1.Important aspects ofdeveloping technical thinking enables students to analyze complex economic processes, process data systematically , and develop innovativesolutions.This process includes the followingelements:  Data analysis skills: Economics teaches students how to use software such as Excel, Python, R, or Stata to analyze large amounts of data (big data). For example, students develop practical skillsbyanalyzing economic indicators orbuildingregression models.  Algorithmic Thinking: Students learn algorithmic approaches to solving economic problems, such as solving problems of optimal resource allocation or cost minimization through mathematical models.  Innovative approach: Technical thinking helps students find new solutions to economic problems. For example, developing a business plan for startups or creating projects based on the principles ofasustainable economy. 2.Newforms ofinteractivelearning Interactive learning is one of the main directions of modern education. The following modern interactivemethods areused ineconomics lessons:  Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR): Using VR technolog
