The importance of the research involves enhancing the effectiveness of professional training for future social educators, as well as offering an effective tool for comprehensive diagnosis of their digital communicative competence for pedagogical specialties. All the tasks set were accomplished. The research methods included literature analysis, surveys, modeling methods, experimental diagnostics, and comparative analysis. All experts agree on the need to improve the content of educational and assessment programs aimed at developing the digital communicative competence of future social educators. The results of the student survey also indicate the necessity of targeted development of specific areas of digital competence during the training of future social educators at the university. The developed methodology ensures an effective assessment of the level of digital communicative competence of future social educators and also contributes to their further development and adaptation to the conditions of the digital economy and society.
