Responsive Pedagogical Approaches to LLB Teaching and Learning

Abstract

To produce locally competent and globally employable graduates, higher education institutions must transform their pedagogical practices to adapt to contemporary demands continuously. Teaching and learning in the Bachelor of Laws (LLB) programme demands carefully considered pedagogical practices that are appropriately aligned with the objectives of the discipline. Responsive pedagogical approaches in teaching law involve creating an inclusive, interactive, and adaptive learning environment that addresses law students' diverse needs and experiences. Therefore, the transformation of the LLB pedagogical practices needs not be a one-time event but an ongoing process to achieve excellence. Continuous training of law teachers on innovative pedagogies and legal aspects needs high consideration. Legal practice is also crucial for some teachers to keep them on par with what happens in courts. Higher education teachers must develop curricula that transcend context and be responsive to local and global issues. This is crucial for ensuring the production of competent and employable graduates.
