Law and citizenship: analysis and perspective on cross-cutting legal issues in high school disciplines

Abstract

We are looking for playful and effective methodologies for transversal insertion of legal knowledge in high school. It is inquired about how best to conduct the activities in order to assess the feasibility and benefits of transversality or the creation of legal disciplines in the curriculum. Faced with the problem, the legal and pedagogical feasibility of the proposal and its positive consequences are confirmed. The approach through dynamics and interesting discussions facilitates the understanding of the school content under a new perspective that mixes and harmonizes the knowledge so that the learning in the classroom is optimized. It should be emphasized that the discussion of legal issues should be included among the compulsory contents of High School, since it is not only a factor of social inclusion, but also of promoting citizenship.
