Pedagogy of sustainable development: the role of economic education in the formation of economically responsible citizens

fundamental transformations of the global economic system, the worsening environmental crisis and growing social inequality determine the need for in-depth research of pedagogical methods of sustainable development of society. The rapid transformation of global economic processes requires qualitatively new approaches to educating the younger generation capable of making informed decisions in conditions of increasing uncertainty. The educational system is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between economic processes, environmental well-being and social justice through the introduction of innovative methods of economic education. The purpose of this study is to consider the practical aspects of the role of economic education in the formation of economically responsible citizens. Economic education, being an integral part of the pedagogy of sustainable development, forms the younger generation with comprehensive skills in analyzing economic processes and making rational decisions, taking into account their long-term consequences. Modern youth are faced with the need to adapt to large-scale transformations that require a harmonious combination of economic achievements with the principles of social justice while preserving natural resources. Dynamic social changes encourage educational institutions to modernize teaching methods aimed at educating competent professionals with a developed sense of civic responsibility who are able to actively participate in solving the problems of sustainable development of society.
