Turning to a new type of teacher training paradigm, based on the ideas of humanism, spirituality, patriotism, etc., becomes an urgent problem of domestic education. This is due to a number of reasons: the state of war and preparations for post-war reconstruction, the search for new ways of personal education in the conditions of transformational processes in the social and humanitarian sphere. Such factors change society’s requirements for professional ethics, while at the same time the individual’s need for the formation of new moral and ethical values grows. The purpose of the article: to theoretically substantiate and reveal the peculiarities of the professional ethics of teachers of vocational training in the context of transformational processes of the social and humanitarian sphere of modern Ukraine.

It was found that the general scheme of a teacher’s professional activity contains value orientations and professional ethics; general and special abilities; professionally significant personality qualities; professionally necessary knowledge, area of professional competence; professional skills and abilities; professional equipment. The structure of the teacher’s personality requires the presence of such basic qualities as: social and universal (ideality, citizenship, morality, pedagogical orientation and aesthetic culture); professional-pedagogical (theoretical and methodical readiness for the specialty; psychological-pedagogical readiness for professional activity; development of practical pedagogical skills and abilities); emotional sensitivity; strong-willed qualities; peculiarities of temperament; health status

Ethical activity of a teacher is closely related to other types of activity, therefore it can be implemented in various subject forms: ethical education, organization of ethical experience, ethical self-education. Professional education teachers’ awareness of moral and ethical values and understanding of how these values are perceived by their students is one of the elements of ethical consciousness. Requirements for compliance with ethical norms perform the function of regulating behavior, communication and activity.

The formation of the professional ethics of a teacher of vocational training in professional (vocational and technical) educational institutions involves several interrelated stages, based on which a certain type of training prevails. The first stage (propaedeutic) is the diagnosis of the level of formation of the professional ethics of the teacher of vocational training. The second stage (main) is the acquisition of a system of professionally important ethical knowledge, the development of motivation for moral activity. The third (final) stage is aimed at ensuring independent replenishment of the necessary ethical knowledge, self-improvement of professional ethics based on the information obtained at the previous stages.
