Legal culture as an element of the professional culture of specialists

Oleksandr Lukyanenko Oleksandr Kindiak

The relevance of the study is determined by the need to develop a high level of legal culture among future specialists in the field of Culture, Arts, and Humanities, as this category of specialists actively influences the spiritual development of society, the formation of value orientations, and the preservation of cultural heritage. In the context of the current transformation processes in Ukraine and the world, the ability of humanities scholars and artists to operate within the legal framework, complying with the norms of legislation in the field of copyright, cultural policy, freedom of creativity, and academic integrity, is of particular importance. The aim of the work is to determine the content and methodological foundations for the formation of a legal culture among students of humanities, to analyze academic disciplines that ensure the development of relevant competencies, and to develop recommendations for improving the educational process. Research methods include analysis of the regulatory and legal framework, pedagogical and methodological reflection, a comparative and analytical approach to assessing the content of academic disciplines, and generalization of pedagogical experience. Systemic, interdisciplinary, and contextual approaches were used. The main results of the study show that legal culture is formed as an integral quality that combines knowledge of legislation, the ability to apply it in practical situations, as well as legal values and internal convictions of the individual. It has been established that academic disciplines play a key role in this process, ensuring the comprehensive development of students’ skills in lawful behavior, critical thinking, and understanding the relationship between law and cultural processes. Interactive teaching methods, interdisciplinary integration, and the involvement of students in reallife cases in the field of copyright and cultural management are of particular importance. The practical value of the work lies in the possibility of using the research results in the development of educational programs and methodological materials for training future cultural experts, art historians, teachers, and artists. The proposed approaches can contribute to improving the quality of higher education and educating law-abiding citizens who are able to act responsibly in the cultural and artistic sphere
