INNOVATIVE EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES AS A FACTOR IN DEVELOPING PROGNOSTIC COMPETENCE IN ECONOMICS STUDENTS

Abstract

The article studies the role of innovative educational technologies in the formation of prognostic competence in students majoring in economics. In the context of digital transformation and the acceleration of socio-economic processes, the training of specialists capable not only of analyzing data but also of identifying development trends, modeling possible scenarios, and making decisions under conditions of uncertainty becomes particularly important. The aim of the study is to provide a theoretical justification and an experimental verification of the effectiveness of innovative educational technologies as a factor in the formation of prognostic competence among students of economic programs. The paper presents the results of a pedagogical experiment, which included diagnostic, formative, and control stages. It has been established that the use of foresight technologies contributes to the development of students’ analytical and prognostic thinking. The obtained results can be used in the development of educational programs and academic courses aimed at enhancing analytical and prognostic skills of economics students.
