Abstract:
The economic educational system is becoming increasingly important in today's world. Basic economic knowledge and understanding of social phenomena and processes from an economic point of view are becoming an essential part of every secondary-educated human.The present economic education is a process that allows pupils to gain system of knowledge of the economics and related disciplines and economic practice and associated cognitive and practical knowledge and skills, or even some habits.

Based on the conclusions of the European Commission meeting in 2016 that within the strategic objectives in the field of education, the EU economy should become the most dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world capable of sustainable economic growth, as well as education in the economic education sector for future workers in the EU, currently especially secondary school students. Education thus became one of the main priorities of the European Union.

Economic educational system as well as the entire school system are waiting for a number of changes. The expected changes should be to support creative methods in the teaching of economically oriented subjects at secondary schools. Education in economic subjects uses mainly instructional content to a targeted and deliberate influence on the pupils, so that it develops their positive qualities in practice, by which these also contribute to the development needs of society. Changes that could lead to effective teaching of economically oriented subjects at secondary schools are the use of elements of creativity with the support of information technology and innovative didactic teaching aids.The process of creativity emphasizes such an activity, which allows you to create an innovative new realities. A person not only perceives and accepts the outside world but also modifies and transposes it into new coordinates of his/herlife and existence. Human creativity is of great importance for the perception of externalreality. It's a very complicated process because it is realized multidimensionally and in the complexity of the system of relations.Creativity is in humans associated with intellectual abilities, because they can be further developed. They are the following skills: fluency, flexibility, originality, sensitivity, elaboration and redefinition. We can develop the abovementioned abilities of pupils in different subjects, thus also when teaching economic subjects.

In our research, we focused on the analysis of elements of creativity in the teaching of economically oriented subjects at selected secondary schools as part of innovation in the educational process. The survey results obtained by respondents were evaluated using a correlation analysis.Correlation analysis is one of the methods of interference statistics, which is currently one of the advanced mathematical and statistical methods for the evaluation of empirical research in practice implemented innovative methods in the teaching of economic subjects at secondary schools. By using interference statistics, teachers of economic subjects can evaluate the respondents (students) response to the innovation of content and forms of creative education.
