Abstract:
Today our society with its changes in all spheres and social institutions has got some acute issues about teaching of future professionals.
Education in universities should ensure the training of a competent specialist with a broad general scientific horizon, capable of using the latest achievements of science, technology and practice,specialist who can work with people, make correct decisions, both in typical and non-standard situations. Also higher institutions should provide skills which will be useful in profession and just in ordinary life.
In this regard, the tutors are faced with the task of determining the optimal means and methods of teaching that positively influence the quality of the future lawyers’ training.
The article defines the importance and urgency of using effective methods in the teaching of the discipline ‘Fair employment practices law’. The necessity for their inclusion in the educational process as an important condition for the formation of professionalism of future lawyers is considered by the authors on the example of drafting an employment contract in a non-standard situation. The skills of the practical contract formation of this document come up against the current problem that is the use of Internet information, which in its arsenal contains a significant number of "standard" labor contracts, which can be easily analyzed, criticized and copied. But for students it is difficult to learn how to compose such documents in unusual conditions, it is really complicated to depart from some standards or clichés.Unusual formulation of the problem - the drafting of an employment contract in this situation - encourages students to think and solve practical problems independently and gives the opportunity to develop professionally significant qualities, skills and abilities. The introduction of innovative technologies in the professional training of the future specialist is an indispensable element in the formation of the foundations of professionalism. The new approach to the teaching process is a prerequisite for modern higher education.
In the course of modelling, introduction and approbation of the tutorials the authors use the methods of theoretical research (literature review and synthesis of advanced pedagogical experience and empirical research (testing, questioning, methods of information presentation). The analysis of curricula, educational programs and methodological complexes found the fact of insufficient attention to the development of professionally significant qualities.
The authors present the analysis of possibilities of this innovative teaching method in education for future lawyers. Monitoring the results is a necessary and important process in the system of high education. This gives an idea of the potential of students, allows diagnosing the perspective of their study. We strongly believe that this method contributes to the promotion of scientific knowledge, strengthening the students’ motivation.
