MONITORING THE PROCESS OF FUTURE BACHELORS’ IN ECONOMICS FORMATION OF LEGAL CULTURE

Abstract

The article attempts to monitor the formation of the legal culture of future bachelors in economics in the process of their professional preparation. The state of their professional training is revealed, which includes the cycle of general training (humanities, fundamental), professional training, disciplines of free choice, research work and practice. It is established that economic disciplines have considerable pedagogical potential for education of the bachelor personality who has a legal culture. However, the legal potential of economic disciplines is not fully utilized. This reduces the role of the legal culture in shaping the students’ value propositions, in grasping the future specialist’s role in professional activity.On the basis of theoretical analysis of the problem, the relative legal literacy of students is demonstrated, because in the vast majority of all stages of the study they highly value the importance of compliance with legal norms (both for the life of society and for their professional activity), the state and its institutions for students (both in political and the legal field) that play a leading role. It is established that future specialists highly value their legal awareness (especially senior students), which is quite appropriate to the real situation. But a significant number of students, especially in their fourth year of study, find real law-abiding behavior impossible or difficult under specific social conditions. It is proved that there are significant gaps in the professional training of students, namely: non-use of the legal potential of professional disciplines; failure to take into account the integration of legal knowledge in professional disciplines, which involves the interrelation of economic and legal areas of future bachelors in economics professional training; limited access to the subject of preparation, which has to overcome in everyday practice the contradiction between the requirements of the law and the real conditions of solving economic and legal issues, not using the opportunities of independent work of students in the formation of their legal culture in the aspect of future economic professional activity
