Purpose. The purpose of the article is to determine the peculiarities of forming the methodological culture of future masters in vocational education. To achieve it, the following tasks have been solved: to clarify the essence of the concept of “formation of methodological culture of future teachers of vocational education institutions”; to develop a model of the process to form the methodological culture of future masters in vocational education; to highlight the features of methodological culture formation of future teachers of vocational education institutions and to draw appropriate conclusions.

To achieve the aim and solve the tasks, a set of complementary general scientific and empirical methods has been used, in particular: synthesis; analogy; comparison; correlation; generalization; classification; systematization; analysis of philosophical, psychological, pedagogical, methodological literature and regulatory documentation.
