Formation of Legal Competence of Future Bachelors of Psychological and Pedagogical Education

The implementation of gamification in a digital or classroom format is necessary in the professional training of students, despite various assessments of its effectiveness. However, the introduction of classroom gami cation in the field of psychological and pedagogical education in the aspect of legal training with independent student self-government during extracurricular hours without hindering the academic load has not been sufficiently studied. Hence the aim of the study: to develop didactic games for students - future bachelors of psychological and pedagogical education and to experimentally prove the effectiveness of their implementation in extracurricular activities to form their legal competence. The experiment involved 184 undergraduate students. During three academic semesters, students of the experimental sample implemented a set of special diagnostic games. Based on the analysis of various educational technologies for the formation of students' legal competencies, a special set of didactic games has been identified and systematized. The article presents the author's vision of the content and technology of forming the legal competence of future teachers and psychologists, which includes six synergistically interrelated competences: Legislative, regulatory, ethical, social, informational and psychological. The results of the study were statistically confirmed by an increase in the level of formation of legal competence separately for each competence among students.
