Features of the methodology of project activity in legal science and education

Background. The study of the category "project" in the modern conditions of functioning of the educational system seems to be a promising activity. In particular, the national tasks set before the education system require the development of new effective forms and means of training. First of all, the state strives to provide various sectors of the economy, social production, public administration with top-level specialists, which directly depends on the quality of the education received. The need to study the possibility of active implementation of project activities in the educational process is due to the existing gap between the theoretical knowledge received by students during their studies and the further practical opportunity to apply the acquired knowledge in real life.

Purpose. The author of this work sets the tasks of analyzing the efficiency and effectiveness of the project method in various life conditions, including in the practical plane of jurisprudence, as well as within the framework of educational mechanisms.

Materials and methods. In the study of project activities, the methods of analysis and synthesis, comparison and analogy, functional method, and classification method were used. In particular, the analysis of scientific works that studied the essence of project activities was carried out, a generalization of the common features of project activities in various conditions was carried out, different models of project activities and the possibility of applying the mechanism of project activities by analogy were considered, and types of project activities were classified based on different criteria.

Results. A classification of project activities was developed based on the division into types of projects based on certain criteria. In particular, the criteria were taken as a basis - the subject that carries out project activities and the territory of the project activities. The results obtained can be applied in the conditions of the activities of government agencies, commercial and non-profit organizations, in the process of obtaining education at different levels and in relation to different specialties, but above all, in the framework of obtaining education in the direction of "Jurisprudence".

Conclusions were formulated that project activities are a multi-component mechanism implemented in various areas of life, which requires interaction between various stakeholders for its effective implementation, including government agencies, non-profit organizations, the business community, educational institutions and students.
