METHODOLOGY OF TEACHING THE ECONOMIC DISCIPLINES IN DIGITAL ERA

Abstract

The underestimation of the scientific achievements of the theories of post-industrial society and disruptive innovations affects the quality of educational curricula and syllabuses of disciplines of economic specialities, thereby ignoring the requirements of a new civilization and a new paradigm generated by the digital age. The article explains how new economic knowledge should be introduced in the content of subjects as economic theory and economics and industrial engineering. One of the ways to harmonize science and educational practice is the updated methodology of teaching economic disciplines. Original examples of post-industrial society and breakthrough innovations in the process of digitalization in Kazakhstan, the theory of learning and communication management, behavioural science, research methodology, rhetoric model, the principle of specificity and scientific knowledge were introduced in teaching economic theory and economics and industrial engineering. To overcome the negative impact of disruptive innovations in the process of digitalization of education, the author's method of synopsis writing based on tabulation, paraphrasing and forming questions for each lecture topic was used. Online group activity and online communication based on written and oral rhetoric during practical lessons were implemented. The application of the improved teaching methodology of economic disciplines in the study of other subjects and at the educational centre in Almaty city can be considered as an effective result of the research.
