Abstract
Abstract The contemporary economic scenario, characterized by modern technology and global relationships, demands a workforce equipped with both traditional economic knowledge and modern skills. This research explores the evolving trends in economics skill development, focusing on how educational institutions are adapting their curricula to meet these emerging demands. Traditional lecture-based methods, as criticized by early scholars like Becker and Watts, are increasingly being replaced by interactive, student-centred methodologies that foster critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. The integration of digital tools and data analytics into economics education, highlighted by McGoldrick and Peterson, reveals the broader shift toward data-driven decision-making in the global economy. Furthermore, the integration of behavioural economics, data science, and other interdisciplinary fields, enhancing students' ability to apply economic concepts to real-world experiments. This research employs a diverse-methods approach, combining surveys of educators and students with content analysis of current economics programs, to identify key trends in skill development. This study reveals a strong emphasis on data analysis skills, the integration of interdisciplinary content, and the adoption of experiential learning methods such as internships and case studies. These shifts specify a move away from traditional theory to practical, applied learning experiences enhance the students to meet demands of the modern economy. The study concludes with recommendations for better investment in educational resources, and an increased focus on experiential learning. By adapting these trends, economics education can continue to produce professionals capable of navigating the people towards global economy.
