Economic courses and an outline of related teaching methods for achieving educational objectives

Abstract

The presented paper deals with modern teaching methods and their use in teaching focused on economic courses. The issue of using modern teaching methods is currently a very discussed and topical theme. It is necessary to follow didactic principles, which have a great influence on teaching as a whole and at the same time allow the application of teaching methods. It is essential to ensure that the chosen method leads to the fulfilment of the learning objective and the content of the lectured material. In the teaching of professional courses, it is necessary to choose such teaching methods that are enabling that students will learn the application of e.g. economic regularities and their use in practice. Modern teaching methods can be successfully used in vocational courses at universities and secondary schools, provided that the content of the education and the profile of the school graduate are clearly defined. It is important to incorporate the required professional knowledge into the learning objectives, for which appropriate teaching methods will be selected that will motivate the students to learn. The paper aims to identify and evaluate a modern concept of teaching based on progressive teaching methods which lead students to an active and independent approach.
