Abstract

This article discusses the concept of legal culture. Having analyzed various data on this topic, the ideas, components and elements of the legal culture of a highly qualified teacher-psychologist were identified and justified. The society, of which teachers are a part, sets the goals of education and the organizational framework in which the educational process takes place. In the broadest sense the role of a teacher-psychologist is to facilitate the learning process. Pedagogical activity is based on the adaptation of teaching tools to the educational needs of the student. With the pace of development of the modern world and socio-economic transformations there is a need for the formation of a competent civil society and a rule of law state. The process of social modernization is taking place in various spheres of our society. In particular, this applies to the educational sphere, since it is one of the most important social institutions that educate a person who masters legal culture. Thus, in the modern world special requirements are put forward for the personality of the future teacher-psychologist and their professional training. In the age of information technologies a teacher-psychologis quires continuous professional training throughout their activity. Self-development is a key aspect of the personality of a future teacher-psychologist. The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that for the education of a person who owns a legal culture, a teacher-psychologist must be qualified in this matter. The competence of the future teacher-psychologist includes not only knowledge of general concepts of the upbringing and training of children, they also need to be versed in normative legal documents that protect and establish the rights of subjects involved in the learning process. Thus, a teacher-psychologist at the moment is not only a person who carries out pedagogical activities, but also a person who can protect their rights, as well as the interests of their wards. It follows that there is a need to expand the boundaries in the field of legal culture in the professional activities of future teachers-psychologists.
