In the current conditions of social development, the management process in the educational sector requires a thorough rethinking in the context of the synergy between professionalism and an individual’s worldview. In the present socio-economic context, success in management is determined by the manager’s efficiency, creativity, and soft skills. The issue of forming professional ethics has become increasingly urgent. The purpose of this publication is to analyze contemporary methodological approaches to the formation of professional ethics among future managers of educational institutions. This article summarizes the experience of forming professional ethics among future managers in the field of education and proposes a methodological model that addresses modern requirements. The study highlights the issue of professional ethics for managers in education in the context of European integration and broader social development. The model for the formation of professional ethics is presented as a set of interrelated components necessary for the systematic and purposeful professional-pedagogical influence on the development of the moral and ethical qualities of future managers of educational institutions. The potential of applying methodological approaches to the formation of professional ethics in practice is also explored. It has been established that the optimal concept should create the prerequisites for the self-realization of future managers, the acquisition of new knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as the enhancement of motivation and professional competence. The proposed model of professional ethics formation will help improve the quality of professional training for future managers in the field of education. The proposed methodological approach to forming the professional ethics of future educational managers is characterized by a set of interdependent and interconnected components aimed at achieving a high level of competence, incorporating the necessary skills, knowledge, and abilities to meet the demands of modern society and the European integration direction of Ukraine’s development.
