The problem of economic culture development lies is due to the contradiction
between: the low economic culture of entrepreneurs and the lack of methods of
economic culture development among future professionals; the general and vocational
education, the earlier problems and the integrative problem of economic culture
development, which combines such sciences as pedagogy, culturology and economics.
The integrated measure of students' preparedness for the work in the new socio-
economic conditions is their economic culture (Fig. 1).
Figure 1. Economic culture structure
Economic culture is a system of values and incentives for economic activity,
respect for any form of property and commercial success as a major social
achievement, the creation and development of a social environment for
entrepreneurship, etc.
Economic culture is a historical category of universal human and social-class
character. An integral part of economic culture is economic education, so that is why
so much attention is currently given to students' economic education.
Economic values are generally accepted ideas about the goals that a person must
strive for in economic activity. They function in the form of an ideal, the basic
principles of thinking and are ideal criteria for assessing economic events, phenomena
