The thesis provides a theoretical generalization and scientific solution to the problem of preparing social workers for professional activity in the conditions of innovative educational environment of the University. The theoretical and methodological analysis of training of social workers in the conditions of innovative educational environment of the University at the general scientific, specific scientific and special scientific levels is carried out. The main methodological approaches (resource-environment, innovation-personal, competence-based) are identified, which are integrated by the system approach as the basic methodological scientific approach to the research problem. Through theoretical analysis, the essence and characterological features of the concepts «educational environment of the university», «innovative educational environment of the university» are specified. Scientific ideas of interaction between the individual and the educational environment are updated; the main reflections on the structuring of the educational environment for training modern specialists are presented. The main value strategies of the innovative educational environment that require holistic scientific and methodological support are defined: 1) partnership between all participants of the educational process and specialists of social institutions; 2) involvement of teachers in innovative activities; 3) support for the actualization of the innovative potential of students. The dissertation analyzes the features of professionalization of social workers' training based on the principles of innovation, highlighting the main activities of these specialists (socio-technological, socio-project, socio-pedagogical, organizational and managerial, research), which determine the foundations of the theory of social work (unification) and its practice (innovation). The dissertation analyzes the socio-cultural (dynamism, subjectivity) and socio-pedagogical (technology, practicality, resource availability) discourse of innovations in the training and professional activities of social workers. The leading trends and resource opportunities for the formation and development of training of social workers in the educational environment of the University are considered. The significance of socio-political, socio-economic, socio-cultural and legal prerequisites for the development of this profession is determined; the processes of formation, improvement, updating of training of social workers in the innovative educational environment of the University are analyzed. Paradigm guidelines of the concept of training social workers in the innovative educational environment of the University are presented through a Trinity: the methodology of social work as a science for which training is carried out, the methodology of professional and social education as certain branches of scientific knowledge and the methodology of a specific study. The author's concept of training social workers as a target component of the designed model of scientific and methodological support for the training of future social workers in the innovative educational environment of the University is substantiated and developed. The significance of scientific and methodological support as a set of resources, forms and methods of educational and extracurricular activities in the innovative educational environment of the University is established.
