Abstract

The use of project methods in the educational process is a key aspect of effective teaching of law at school and the formation of students' independence, initiative and creativity.

Methods. Analysis, synthesis, generalization, conclusions, pedagogical experience.

Result. The project-based teaching methodology is aimed at developing creative and cognitive processes, critical thinking, and the ability to independently acquire knowledge and apply it in practice. It is supposed to organize independent activities of students, organized in the form of individual, pair or group work.

Conclusion. An analysis of the relevant psychological, pedagogical and methodological literature indicates that project methods allow students not only to master the theoretical aspects of the legal system, but also to actively apply them in practice through participation in various projects. The author explores the advantages of using design techniques and draws attention to the development of students' creative thinking in the process of creating projects that require original ideas, analysis and a creative approach to solving problems. The importance of developing students' independence, which is a necessary skill for the successful implementation of projects and further self-realization in society, is also highlighted.
