the article is devoted to the study of key trends in the digitalization of pedagogical education aimed at the development of economics teaching. The relevance of the study is determined by the need to prepare educators who possess not only professional knowledge but also skills in working with modern digital technologies in the context of a digital economy. The article examines the theoretical foundations of education digitalization, analyzes the stages of educational environment transformation, and explores the impact of digital technologies on pedagogical activities. Special attention is paid to the current state of economics teaching, where digital tools such as online platforms, simulators, and multimedia resources are actively utilized. The advantages of digitalization, including interactivity, personalization, and accessibility of education, are highlighted, as well as the main problems, such as a lack of digital competencies, insufficient technical equipment, and organizational barriers. Based on the analysis of literature, practical experience, and expert evaluations, the article identifies key trends in the digitalization of pedagogical education. These include the integration of new technologies (artificial intelligence, big data, VR/AR), the development of digital competencies among educators, the transition to hybrid and distance learning formats, and the implementation of microlearning and adaptive learning models. Particular attention is paid to the creation of digital educational ecosystems and the ethical aspects of digitalization. The results of the study can be used to improve educational programs aimed at preparing educators capable of effectively operating in the context of the digital transformation of education.
