The article reveals the specifics of practical training of masters in Ukrainian universities. The author analyzes the current state of the willingness of teachers of higher pedagogical educational institutions to organize and conduct professional-pedagogical practices within the master's degree. The ascertaining experiment description is given under the plan of its implementation. It provides the sequence, interrelation, and interdependence of two stages of research (diagnostic and prognostic), each solving particular tasks and using appropriate methods and techniques. 
 In the course of the study, we have found that the effective formation of professionally significant skills of undergraduates during their professional practice largely depends on the motivational and value attitude to the specialty, the dynamics of interest in the specialty after studying various psychological and pedagogical courses, and special disciplines of the professional profile, as well as interdisciplinary pedagogical practices, among which the master's professional practice is the final stage of preparing students for professional activities that significantly affect the formation of professional competence of future teachers. 
 The results of the ascertaining stage of the study enable to identify the necessary condition for improving the effectiveness of masters' practical training, including the creation of high-quality educational and methodological support, updating its content, expanding the forms, methods, techniques of teaching that are adequate to certain content of preparation for professional-pedagogical activity. The following forms and methods apply problem lectures, problem seminars, thematic discussions, heuristic conversations, case studies, scientific intelligence, training, workshops, pedagogical workshops, the system of creative tasks, round tables, methods of developing analytical thinking, applying scientific analysis in dynamics; mastering practical skills of working with information (isolating, structuring, ranking by the significance of the problems under study); methods of dialogue communication (facilitated discussion) for mutual understanding, interaction, joint solution of common but significant for each participant problems. These methods will allow students to effectively master the system of creative organization of pedagogical action and select tools that will guarantee optimal and effective solutions to pedagogical tasks in future teaching activities.
