Research On Future Lawyers’ Demand To Build An Individual Learning Trajectory

Abstract

The relevance of the research is caused by the development of one of the trends of the modern system of higher professional education - focus on the implementation of individual approaches through the construction of students’ learning trajectories. The digitalization of higher education provides training using an individual learning trajectory, which becomes one of the most important markers of students’ conscious choice and interest in their future occupational activities. An individual learning path is required to meet students’ occupational and personality demands and ambitions more completely. It allows the future professionals to acquire not only professional knowledge, skills and abilities but also such qualities as mobility, flexibility, communication, and independence, the ability to take the initiative, make choices and be responsible for them. This condition requires conventional approaches in professional training to transit to the conditions of individualization of learning. The main focus of the study is to investigate the requirements of future lawyers in building an individual learning trajectory. The survey method is used in the study. The questionnaire conveys the questions to point out the importance and opportunities to build an individual learning trajectory within the implemented curriculum. The study identifies the demand of future lawyers in choosing an individual learning trajectory, as well as their preferences for additional resources to master the competence for future occupational activity.
