Abstract
The necessity of teaching economics in secondary education is an inescapable need in the modern social, political, and educational reality. In the present work, factors are studied that shape and influence the attitudes and perceptions of educational economists about the role of economics courses in the educational process. The present quantitative research examined the views of secondary school teachers regarding financial illiteracy and its connection to educational reality, the reasons why it is necessary to learn economics courses and concepts, the curriculum and the use of supervisory tools as well as the existence of the need to adopt alternative methods of teaching economics. The sample was collected by the method of convenient sampling and avalanche sampling with a questionnaire in electronic form. The research involved 104 economics and social science teachers who teach economics in secondary education. Upon completion of the analysis and processing of the collected data, the most important findings are presented and the relationships that appear between them are identified.
