Abstract. The article examines in detail the methods of formation and technologies of development of professional moral and ethical qualities of future specialists of the social sphere. The educational process in higher education is based not only on the best examples of domestic and foreign experience of social work, adapted to the conditions of specific regions, but also with the use of quite effective technologies and teaching methods. Overcoming the previously widespread reproductive nature of humanitarian education, a modern methodology is currently being formed in the country, which is built taking into account the variability, openness, and dynamism of forms and methods of training specialists in accordance with the draft industry standard for the specialty «social work». Purposeful, systematic formation of professional and ethical qualities not only has a positive effect on moral consciousness, contributes to the translation of ethical knowledge into personal beliefs, increases understanding of their social significance, but also creates the necessary moral and psychological atmosphere and stimulates highly moral actions, regulating the behavior of future and current social workers. Thus, the formation and development of ethical competence of social workers plays an important role in the formation of a social worker as a social work specialist. Further research on this topic can be devoted to studying the mechanisms of forming moral and ethical qualities in future social workers and developing recommendations of a substantive and procedural nature to increase their level.
