Abstract: The object of the research is social relations, arising in the course of teaching between the faculty and the students in the process of team teaching.
The subject of the study is the faculty’s activity in the choice of team-based interdisciplinary study of particular topics of disciplines, which makes to increase students’ learning motivation and self-training, influencing the development of professional competencies.
The relevance of the study is the necessity of a thorough analysis of the available models of team teaching to offer suggestions to improve the educational process in terms of interdisciplinary study of particular aspects or topics that influence the formation of students’ professional competencies; to offer not only team projects, but also interdisciplinary professional simulation involving different educational establishments, which increases the faculty desire for quality training, enhanced by the competitive nature not only between fellow students, but also between educational establishments
The main conclusions include the authors’ definition of team teaching interdisciplinary education, which means a purposeful process of organisation, encouragement and motivation of active learning and cognitive activity of a student through joint (project) work of several academic disciplines teachers, aimed at the development of professional competences and proving (evaluating) the importance or mastering skills of the future profession; expanding the list of available models of team teaching expanding the list of existing models of team teaching by adding a functional model (division of functions between teachers to achieve a specific goal) and a project model (in which interdisciplinary teams are created to carry out ad-hoc projects with specific goals and objectives). A promising area of team teaching development is the game learning approach, which allows project work between several educational establishments.

Abstract: The object of the study is the doctrinal understanding of surrender, the procedural relations that arise between a person reporting the fact of a crime committed by him or in complicity with him, a defender and an employee of the criminal prosecution authority upon receipt of a reason to initiate a criminal case or testimony of a suspect, judicial practice of recognizing surrender as evidence in a criminal case. The purpose of the study is to identify trends in law enforcement practice and consider the possibility of using a confession as evidence in a criminal case. The research methods of the study: the method of analysis (when studying reviews of the courts of appeal and cassation regarding the recognition of the absence of a defender upon receipt of a confession as inadmissible evidence in a criminal case); the method of generalization (when drawing conclusions about the forms of fixing the fact that a person who applied to law enforcement agencies committed a crime). Turning himself in is one of the controversial points in terms of guarantees of participation in such a report of a crime by a lawyer. The revealed forms and methods of bringing the fact of a socially dangerous act committed by a person does not allow to guarantee in all cases the timeliness of inviting a defender (for example, the perpetrator of an accident reporting the fact of hitting a pedestrian with subsequent appearance in the criminal prosecution authorities). Taking into account the diversity of such appeals, as well as respecting constitutional rights, we suggest that in all cases informing law enforcement agencies and appearing before criminal prosecution authorities be considered a mitigating circumstance, regardless of whether the subsequent confession will be recognized as inadmissible evidence in a criminal case.
