Photosynthesis is the most important biochemical process on Earth. Most living beings depend on it directly or indirectly. Knowledge about photosynthesis enables us to understand how the world functions as an ecosystem and how photosynthesis acts as a bridge between the non-living and living worlds. It is, therefore, understandable that photosynthesis is included in national curricula around the world. The practice unfortunately shows that students at all school levels mostly learn about photosynthesis by rote. Consequently, they have difficulties understanding this vital process. Research also shows many misconceptions in relation to photosynthesis among students of different ages. Based on these, the main aim of our study was to explore the scientific conceptions about photosynthesis held by primary school pupils and student teachers of biology. Data were collected using a questionnaire containing seven biology content questions.The sample consisted of 634 participants, 427 primary school pupils (aged 11–14), and 207 student teachers of biology (aged 20–23). We found that the populations of primary school pupils and student teachers of biology differ greatly concerning scientific conceptions of photosynthesis. The student teachers showed good and complex understanding of photosynthesis, while pupils showed some misconceptions (location of chlorophyll and photosynthesis in a plant, transformation of energy in photosynthesis). Analysis of the development of scientific conceptions about photosynthesis with age showed that there is very little progress among primary school pupils and none among biology student teachers. More involvement of student teachers of biology in practical work at primary schools during their study was suggested to make student teachers aware of, and better understand pupils’ misconceptions.

The article analyzes the manifestations and causes of the paradigmatic crisis of the modern economic “mainstream”: the “monopolization” of economic theory and economic education by the neoclassical direction; Fragmentary nature of scientific research; The “fascination” of scientists with the problem of economic growth and ignoring other factors of social development. The emphasis is on the lack of interdisciplinary research, the “mathematization” of economic knowledge. It is noted that the role of mathematics in economic models is only instrumental, mathematically complex economic models make the world more incomprehensible than simplify, the connection with real life is lost. Unlike the «mainstream», technology and individual taste in the institutional economy are endogenous variables. Institutionalists focus on the boundaries in which the actual future can be predicted, in contrast to the prediction in the «model context»; Institutionalists approach the economy as an organic and evolving «whole», and not as a static mechanism; Other advantages of the institutional economy are: the use of methodological collectivism instead of methodological individualism; Study of the processes of adaptation and disequilibrium, a criticism of the «neoclassical search» for optimal and equilibrium solutions; Instead of technology, focus on ownership and transaction costs; Recognition of ideology as the determining factor in economic history, which contradicts the neoclassical vision of the world; The refutation of the Pareto optimality principle; Emphasis on economic and political power. The methodological orientation of the institutional economy and the possibility of practical application determine its potential for becoming a “new mainstream”.

The paper focuses on one of the issues of training highly qualified specialists of the modern school that is training future primary school teachers for the economic upbringing of younger pupils in the context of globalization processes. The author emphasizes the significant gap between the real state of affairs in general secondary education, higher education institution and today’s challenges, as well as the lack of coordination between them which does not allow one to provide the economic component of professional teacher training. The article aims to justify pedagogical conditions and means ensuring effective training of prospective primary school teachers for economic education of pupils. The systemic-functional method allowed one to identify the areas in the training of prospective primary school teachers for economic education and the systemic-structural method to identify and justify practical recommendations. The study and generalization of pedagogical experience became possible due to the empirical method. Primary school teachers play an essential role in solving this particular issue. Their purposeful training depends on the quality of training and upbringing of young people, as well as full inclusion in life and effective work under modern conditions of social development. Thus, one can conclude that professional training of future primary school teachers is not focused on the development of economic knowledge in younger pupils. In this case, economic self-study presented to younger pupils based on their life experience is likely to have negative results since it does not offer pupils different approaches to solving this or that issue. The introduction of primary school counselling, didactic and economics in the curricula for training future primary school teachers should have a positive impact on their expertise and ability to provide quality education and upbringing of pupils.
