PEDAGOGICAL CONDITIONS FOR THE SUCCESSFUL APPLICATION OF THE SITUATIONAL MODELING METHOD TO DEVELOP NEGOTIATION COMPETENCE IN FUTURE LAWYERS

Abstract

The study is conducted to identify pedagogical conditions that enable the most successful application of the situational modeling method to develop negotiation competence in future lawyers. This requires addressing a number of challenges related to identifying, describing, and implementing the desired conditions. The following conditions are identified: engaging students in developing scenarios and using the situational modeling method; inviting professional negotiators to practical classes to recreate unique negotiation situations; improving students’ communication strategy modeling skills, enabling them to more quickly adapt to the communication styles of their opponents; and expanding students’ rights in choosing their own verbal communication styles to enhance the realism of negotiation situations. The study concludes that the proposed conditions will enhance the effectiveness of the pedagogical process under study.
