Abstract

This article describes the analysis of the ideas of the famous Ukrainian scientist- teacher V. Sukhomlynskyi
about comprehension of the phenomenon of pedagogical culture and professional ethics in the activity
of the teacher, their vitality in the conditions of reforming modern national education.
The ethical culture of the teacher is presented in the writings by Vasyl Oleksandrovych as a set of professional
qualities reflecting the universal human culture and professional and personal values of the teacher, his
humanistic attitude to all participants (students, colleagues, parents) of the educational process, possession of all
the intricacies of educational means.
Problems of pedagogical ethics, which infringes Vasyl Sukhomlynskyi in his writings, remain extremely relevant
for the present. Turning constantly to the pedagogical heritage of the scientist, we find many positions close
to modern educator, understandable and accepted for use. Ethics acts as an intermediary between the general
normative requirements for the teacher and the tactics of his pedagogical behavior, an important factor
in the formation of the individual. Focusing the attention of the modern teacher in the process of studying
the creative heritage of the scientist precisely on the issues of adherence to the rules of professional and moral
behavior will increase the role and significance of pedagogical ethics as a socio-pedagogical phenomenon,
aimed at deepening and developing mechanisms that organize and regulate the moral foundations of life
educational institutions and all society as a whole.
Vasyl Sukhomlynskyi made an invaluable contribution to the development of ethical and pedagogical
ideas of world pedagogy, developing theoretical and methodological foundations of the organization
of educational process on the basis of humanistic ethics. It is their contribution to pedagogical science
and practice prompted in the 70-80s of the twentieth century researchers to the subject study of the problems
