CONCEPTUAL PROVISIONS OF LEGAL EDUCATION OF MARINE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the development of conceptual provisions for the legal education of cadets at a maritime university. Based on the approaches of Russian scientists, the essence of legal education has been clarified. The specific features of legal education at a maritime university have been revealed, which should be taken into account in educational and legal work. The objective of the study is to develop and reveal conceptual provisions as a basis for the organization and implementation of legal education for cadets at a modern maritime university. The following methods are used in the study: theoretical analysis of bibliographic sources; study of legal acts; synthesis; generalization; and classification. In accordance with the structure of the pedagogical concept (goals, objectives, principles, methodological approaches, directions, implementation mechanisms, and expected results), the conceptual provisions of legal education for cadets of a maritime university have been developed. This is the result of a research study. The article proposes methodological recommendations for the university’s management, teaching staff, and educators on the effective implementation of the conceptual provisions. The research results are innovative, have scientific and practical value, and can be applied in the organization of educational and legal work with university students, vocational school students, and general education school students.
