Abstract
The epistemological approach in the pedagogy of vocational education of future specialists is directly related to the activity of personal creative activity. From this point of view, epistemology, that is, the theory of knowledge, is of great importance in the pedagogy of professional education. One of the main tasks of modern education in professional educational institutions is to create favorable conditions for increasing the awareness of students in the professional sphere. The theory of knowledge is a process requiring long preparation, extensive erudition, and various abilities, which forms the basis of human activity and is the source of all material and spiritual wealth. Analysis of the epistemological approach on a scientific basis allows us to understand its mechanisms and effectively formulate them.
