FORESIGHT PROJECTS AS A FACTOR IN THE FORMATION OF STUDENTS' LEGAL BEHAVIOUR IN AN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION IN THE CONTEXT OF THE HUMANISATION OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

Abstract

The article highlights the issues related to the use of foresight projects for the formation of students' legal behaviour in an educational institution in the context of the humanisation of the educational process. The article analyses scientific and methodological works on the peculiarities of using the project method in educational institutions. It is established that students' work on projects contributes to the development of independence, activity, research skills, a sense of belonging to the world community, awareness of professional choice, creative and social development, and the formation of critical thinking skills. Working on a project in an educational institution, regardless of its didactic purpose, shapes the student's future behavior in personal and professional terms, and therefore a trajectory that can be predicted. It is believed that the term «foresight» was first used by science fiction writer H.G. Wells in 1930 in one of his public speeches. The writer proposed to introduce the profession of a «professor of foresight», who, like a historian, would analyze and propose options for the practical implementation of future discoveries. The use of foresight projects in the educational process of an educational institution allows to shape the legal behavior of students, implementing the strategy of humanization of education. At the same time, such behavior is regulated by the content of the relevant legal acts. According to the research of domestic scholars, the implementation of the main provisions of humanization of education requires the use of modern pedagogical methods of humanistic educational activities, ensures the development of the student's personality, and is a guarantee of improving the quality of education and increasing its competitiveness at the international level. It is believed that the degree of humanization of the educational process depends on the extent to which this process creates the preconditions for self-development of the individual, his/her self-realization and creativity. The article deals with the foresight project «I am a future teacher». «I am a future teacher of accounting and economic disciplines», «The path to academic integrity». It is noted that traditional information-oriented, social, creative and other types of projects can also serve as foresight projects.
