MULTIDIMENSIONAL PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICES FOR AN ACTIVE AND PARTICIPATORY LEGAL TEACHING

Abstract

This article aims to analyze how multidimensional pedagogical practices can contribute to a more active and participatory legal education. The fundamentals of multidimensional educational practices and their dialogic structure are discussed. Then, it points out the characteristics of legal education, which is based on traditional educational practices of expository classes, which excel in monological methodologies, without debate, criticism and reflection. At the end, some active methodologies are presented, specifically the flipped classroom, the case method and blended learning, as alternative instruments to traditional practices. A deductive approach is used, with the use of a literature review to present the discussions around the discussed concepts. It is concluded that multidimensional practices promote multiple student skills and competences, providing conditions for the construction of a dialogical relationship between the subjects of the educational process, in an active and participative position, favoring the understanding of legal reasoning appropriate to the solution of social problems contemporaries.
