The latter, in turn, is carried out, on the one hand, as actions aimed at the transformation of moral relations between people, on the other hand - as a condition of a combination of educational activities with moral education.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the didactic elements of higher education, which determine the formation of professional ethics for future social workers.

According to the goal, we outline the problem: analysis of the forms that determine the training of future social workers; development of the basic methods of forming the professional and ethical competence of specialists in social work.

The key forms of the educational process of specialists of the above specialty, we consider the forms of theoretical instruction: lectures: problem lecture, lecture-debate, lecture-conference, lecture-round table, interactive lecture; seminars: seminar-discussion, seminar-conference, seminar-solution of professional and moral situations; forms of practical training: practical classes, trainings, coaching.

The main methods of forming the professional ethics of students are methods for stimulating mastery of the basics of professional ethics (the method of creating situations of interest in moral and ethical categories, norms, values and skills; the method of relying on life experience); methods of forming the experience of professional and ethical activity (case method, method of "brainstorming", method of projects, method of business games); methods of diagnosing the formation of professional ethics in the professional training of specialists (test method, portfolio method, rating, method of mutual reflection).

The indicated forms and methods not only contribute to the development of professional ethics norms, values, moral and ethical qualities, but also the creation of a creative atmosphere that determines the active subjective position of the student in the educational process.
