In the context of the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war, the Ukrainian education sector is facing new challenges, including, in particular, the revision of training for specialists in strategic areas, including lawyers. A developed nationally conscious civil society with strong democratic beliefs and rejection of corruption, which puts the interests of the state at the forefront, is the ideal that today's generation of higher education students should embody. With this in mind, educational practices should be revised, primarily in terms of forming a system of values, as well as maximizing the actualization of learning. We consider the case method to be one of the effective tools that meets these important tasks. The purpose of the study is to comprehend the experience of using the case method with a view to forming the values of future lawyers and is realized through such tasks as studying the educational practices of using the case method, considering examples of the use of the case method in teaching future lawyers, and finding out the impact of the case method on the formation of the values of respect for the law and the inadmissibility of corruption in future lawyers. The examples of case studies, discussed in the article, are devoted to a specific topic - exposing cases of corruption in the higher education system of Ukraine. The author formulates the requirements for the content of cases and the sequence of work with them, which provides for a gradual increase in the degree of independence of students. It is proved that the case method contributes to the formation of such important values for future lawyers as respect for the law and the inadmissibility of corruption. The development of a mature civil society in post-war Ukraine, to which today's students will be involved, depends on the formation of these values. Prospects for further research are seen in the study of the use of the case method to analyze situations related to academic dishonesty [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
