DEVELOPING PRICING SKILLS IN FUTURE TECHNOLOGY TEACHERS DURING THE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OF PRODUCTS

Анотація

The article discusses methodological examples for developing economic competence in future technology teachers, which is an essential component of their professional training. As technology and economics are closely intertwined, especially in the context of a rapidly changing job market, future educators must not only possess technological skills but also a deep understanding of the economic processes related to production activities. Studying the basics of pricing and the economic aspects of production allows future technology teachers to effectively organize the educational process, promote the development of students' competencies in the field of economics, and help students realize the importance of economic knowledge for their professional future.

The article presents methodological examples covering key stages of pricing, such as calculating the cost of production, developing costings for projects, analyzing the competitive environment, and calculating production profitability. Examining each of these aspects allows students not only to acquire theoretical knowledge in economics but also to apply it in practice. Specifically, tasks related to cost calculation, creating costings, and market analysis contribute to the development of analytical, economic, and organizational skills necessary for effectively carrying out professional duties in their future teaching activities.

The methodological examples described in the article offer students an opportunity to deeply study pricing principles during the design and manufacture of products, develop skills in working with economic data, and practically master strategies for managing production costs. Students learn to analyze material and labor costs and consider other factors that may influence the final product price. Mastering these skills helps prepare future technology teachers for real professional activities and enables them to teach their students the knowledge and skills necessary for a successful career.

This article aims to improve methodological approaches to developing economic competence in future technology teachers, which is an important step in training professionally competent educators capable of adapting to the demands of the modern job market and effectively teaching students the basics of production economics.
