Methodological approaches to the formation of the aesthetic culture of future social educators through visual art

For a social pedagogue who works with various categories of people in future professional activities, the formation of aesthetic culture not only helps to optimally organize professional work, but also allows the use of artistic techniques in solving socio-pedagogical problems. Aesthetic culture is important in social and pedagogical activities because it contributes to the development of personality, the formation of values, the emotional perception of the world around us, and the establishment of harmonious relationships with other people. To systematize the process of forming the aesthetic culture of future social educators, it is necessary to substantiate its methodology. In this regard, the purpose of the article is to substantiate methodological approaches to the formation of the aesthetic culture of future social educators through fine art. The article analyzes aesthetic culture and its importance in socio-pedagogical activity within the framework of domestic and foreign scientific pedagogical works, andpresents a model of the importance of aesthetic culture in socio-pedagogical activity. Based on scientific research, the methodological approach is defined as "the main way to solve the set research tasks, as well as the direction and strategy of solutions." The methodological basis for the formation of the aesthetic culture of future social educators through the visual arts is cultural-anthropological, axiological, systemic, activity-semantic, competence-based, and integrated approaches chosen to solve the main problem of the study. These methodological approaches contribute to providing an integrated approach to student learning and the formation of their aesthetic culture, which is necessary for successful socio-pedagogical practice.
