Pedagogical ethics is the theoretical, methodological, and moral basis for the creation of prospective teachers' humanistic values, which are considered "eternal" guidelines in vocational training and pedagogical activity. The urgency of the problem is justified by the modern requirements for professional education, which is aimed to improve a person's individual qualities to form his innovative thinking and moral self-awareness. The purpose of the study was to consider the practicability of including the discipline "Pedagogical Ethics" in the curriculum of the training program "Pedagogical Education" as one of the essential components that create a moral basis for mastering the system of humanistic professional values and entering the professional community. The features of the development of the humanistic orientation of students' personality and the structure of their value sphere are described and the connections between various types of values, general orientation, creative component and self-esteem are revealed. The methods of humanization of the formation of young students' personalities are proposed in the framework of the modern education system and social realities. The diagnostic results of advanced students presented in the paper make it possible to put forward a number of innovative tasks of vocational training and education at the university. In particular, the formation of professional competencies among students is associated with the need to master traditional humanistic values, which often do not coincide with the modern personal characteristics of future teachers. The development of values, the knowledge of the world and the formation of one's image based on the culture of the society are becoming essential components of modern education and professional self-education.
