Abstract. The purpose of this article is to substantiate the change of the stereotype of the traditional educational standard for design, on the basis of which the content of economic theory as a modern academic discipline should be formed. Design is considered in the context of a methodological framework that is relevant to the state of fragmentation of modern economic science, where the "sides of the frame" are theories offering various solutions to the same problem, determined by the future professional competencies of an economist. The substantiation of the proposed proposal is based on the logic of metamodernism, according to which a separate, single theory / concept, considered outside the cultural context, loses its critical scientific value. The article begins with a brief overview of the modern discussion on the problem of the content of the academic discipline "economic theory", a retrospective characteristic of economic science, starting from one large theory to the state of fragmentation, which became a challenge to replace the standard content with a different way of forming the academic discipline. Further, we consider existing educational practices in which the use of design as an alternative to the standard has long been established as a productive solution, and also propose new possible options. The article is of a debatable nature.
