Legal education of the individual in the conditions of the creation and development of the rule of law in Ukraine.

Abstract

  The issue of legal education is of great importance in modern conditions of creation of the rule of law and democratic society. The article analyzes the views of foreign and domestic scientists on this issue. It is emphasized that there is a need to create an educational space as one of the conditions for the education of primary school children of legal competence at a new level of higher quality. Of particular importance in this matter is the task of preparing children for such an educational process in which the acquisition of knowledge, skills and abilities in legal education would become a means of developing cognitive activity of schoolchildren. The development of the humanistic system at school is an important factor in the moral and legal education of schoolchildren, and the creation of an educational space based on a hermeneutic approach is extremely important. It is believed that the education of legal competencies, legal norms, legal ideas, etc. call more attention to the education of a set of generally accepted norms, principles and rules governing human behavior, and form the basis of moral education. It is proved that legal education can give positive results only if its organization takes into account not only the age characteristics of primary school children, but also carries it out differently, i.e. taking into account the real state of legal awareness and behavior of children, and ideas about legal relations and generalization   of experience of social and legal interaction.
