Problems of innovative technologies application in teaching legal disciplines

 

At presenta teaching in the leading higher education institutions of the Republic of Kazakhstan couldn't be imagined without introduction of new technologies. Modernization of teaching techniques including change of an orientation and accents of curricula of secondary and higher education, having included programs for training in practical skills and obtaining practical qualification are determined as one of the priorities in strategy "Kazakhstan-2050" by President N. A. Nazarbayev[1].

In this regard it was developed an unique innovative project introduction of which in educational process is urged to put on new level system transition of educational process to KazNU named afteral-Farabion qualitatively new level conforming to the international standards. During the implementation of the scientific and innovative project "Al-Farabi University — Smart City" which will become a basis of development of higher education institution till 2020, first of all, we have to proceed from those provisions which concern reforming the higher education system "Strategy of development of Kazakhstan 2050" where the purposes and tasks were specifically formulated and accurately designated by the Leader of Nation N. A. Nazarbayev. In Strategy "Kazakhstan-2050" the President set a main goal for the country - to create society of prosperity on the basis of the strong state, developed economy and opportunities of general work. Thus the huge attention is dedicated to questions of creation of the economy based on knowledge. Higher education institutions are urged to play a key role in this process. Realizing the important mission, KazNU named after al-Farabi actively works in this direction.

In the nearest future in connection with processes of economic globalization and  integration processes in the field of the higher and postgraduate education the techniques of teaching and training becoming today revolutionary and innovative will be introduced and applied everywhere. Kazakhstan has to take practical steps on real introduction to higher educational institutions of the country of new technologies of trainingin order not to lag behind a tendency of development of the processes happening in the higher education worldwide. In our opinion, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan has to developthe uniform republican concept concerning all last accreditation and certification of higher education institutions of our country. We consider that this concept has to carry the name "The State Strategy of Introduction of New Technologies of Training and Introduction of Innovative Techniques in Educational Process in Higher Education Institutions". Introduction of modern information technologies in educational process is one of priority tasks in KazNU named after al-Farabi.

It is impossible to develop modern infrastructure, to create effective government, to provide favorable business climate without educated people [2]. Due to the increasing role and the importance of Kazakhstan in world political arena it is necessary to accelerate formation at the younger generation of new thinking and as a result of it, to introduce a legal general compulsory education in all, without exception, higher educational institutions of the country. As mentioned in youth policy for the purposes of preservation and development of intellectual and creative potential of society, ensuring continuity of scientific, cultural traditions of the Republic of Kazakhstan the system of measures for support of talented and gifted youth and creation of conditions for their activity is carried out. Forming youth policy, the government considers the youth as one of socially active segments of the population having important potential weight in the long term. The last causes inadmissibility of underestimation of a role and place of youth in the state arrangement. Protection of the rights and interests of youth assumes increase of the general legal culture in society, education of young people in respect of the Constitution, laws and fundamental ideas of the state development of Kazakhstan.

It is advisable to use active forms of students study based on activity approach during the studying legal material at lessons. Special value is practical orientationwhen study legal questions. The student has to understand: purposes of material study, for example, why he has to know the main ways of protection of human rights. Students don't need knowledge of the abstract rights, they need to know, where, when and how they could apply them, why it is necessary personally for them. Only in this case it is possible to achieve positive result.

The applied innovative methods of training include: business games, trainings, situational tasks, master classes, creative tasks, press conferences, scientific discussions, testing, protection of papers, etc. They develop ability to be guided in non-standard conditions, to analyze the arising problems independently to develop and realize administrative decisions of student.

It is supposed to introduce the specified innovative technologies with  lectures, traditional method of training due to the planned time and taking into account the available material support in educational process. Within teaching this course justification of methods which will be acquired most effectively while studying separate subjects material, and also planning of their introduction with every lesson.

In our opinion, there are certain essential shortcomings in modern system of the higher education as today it doesn't meet those requirements and calls which dictate circumstances. The practice of the developed foreign countries as England, the USA, New Zealand and a number of countries of Western Europeconfirms thatsuch technological development of the highest educational process as a case-study is already applied.

At the level of knowledge formation and understanding the main work is going on the basis of lecture, the story, conversation of the teacher, interactive work with information and so on. However, here we can apply information case text with inclusion of the used terms and concepts, formulas and rules at a lesson, and for independent work of students. Innovative educational technologies develop a formation of creative style of activity of future lawyer and significantly increase motivation, depth and completeness of mastering a profession.

Professional experience confirms that application of active methods of training is becoming the most effective at a certain system and carefully thought over stages of its introduction.

Thus, the active methods of training facilitates creative, deep assimilation of the theory, thinkingdevelopment, interest in study, learn to find approaches to the solution of specific constitutional problems, promotes development of professional qualities and skills.
