Comparative Approach of the Electronic Contract and Classical Contract, in Teaching The Content of the New Civil Code in Romania

摘要

The new Civil Code in Romania, valid since 1.10.2011, introduces a set of legal regulations regarding the contracting procedures by the use of electronic means. Teaching aspects related to the Electronic Contract is a real challenge in the field of education, needing collaboration between jurists, economists and computer specialists. The study aims at designing and testing a didactic approach to the Electronic Contract vs Classical or Traditional Contract in order to give a comprehensive understanding for traders and students. The target group consists of Long Life Learning students in economics and law. The main result of the work is the related section in the course book itself, including a theoretical part, examples, explanations and practice aid. A preliminary research, by applying a short questionnaire, reveals that after one year of teaching (2 series), 42% of students used at least one of the forms of the electronic contracting - either as one of the contracting parties or in their practice.
