The training of a future specialist involves not only the acquisition of professionally oriented knowledge, skills and habits, but also the formation of a system of professional values as regulators of future professional activities, the basis for professional growth and improvement. The social and political condition of society in general and the country in particular affects the formation of professional values of future specialists, which, in particular, is manifested in the conditions of modern Ukraine, which fights for state independence and territorial integrity. The purpose of the study is to monitor the dynamics of changes in the professional values of future teachers over the past five years. A survey was conducted, as well as testing of future teachers according to M. Rokich's methods "Valuable orientations" (N = 710). Some products of students' activities (essays, creative works, etc.) were also of some information importance, which made it possible to diagnose the professional values and their hierarchy in the consciousness of the personality of future specialists. Changes in the dynamics of the professional values of future teachers from the prevalence of the material factor, the desire to obtain a profession that would provide the opportunity to emigrate from the country to the values of development, cognition and patriotism were revealed. The obtained results can become the basis for the search for mechanisms and tools of the formation of professional values in future teachers in the process of their professional training in social and political conditions that constantly change.
