Abstract
<jats:p>The research aims to determine the effectiveness of the deontological approach in forming the moral component of professional training for future adaptive physical culture (APC) specialists through the Pedagogy discipline. The article analyzes the relevance of this issue within the context of state policy on preserving traditional spiritual and moral values and substantiates the deontological potential of pedagogy as a system-forming tool for the professional and moral development of students. The paper provides a brief overview of scientific approaches to the concept of the “moral component of professional deontology” and identifies its structural components: axiological, cognitive-deontological, emotional-empathic, and behavioral-regulatory. Furthermore, the study substantiates a set of pedagogical conditions ensuring the effective formation of this component during the study of pedagogy. An original methodology is proposed, encompassing target, content, procedural, and diagnostic components. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the development and experimental testing of this methodology, which implements the deontological approach in the professional training of future APC specialists. The study concludes that utilizing the potential of pedagogy to form the moral component of professional deontology is essential as a system-forming factor in a specialist’s readiness for professional activity in the field of adaptive physical culture.</jats:p>
