Objective: To substantiate the essence, principles, and key aspects of educational content visualization in postgraduate education for pedagogical and scientific-pedagogical workers. Methods: Theoretical analysis of scientific sources, Internet resources, and the experience of postgraduate pedagogical education institutions – to determine and substantiate the essence, principles, and key aspects of educational content visualization in postgraduate education for pedagogical and scientific-pedagogical workers. Results: Based on the theoretical analysis of sources, the essence of educational content visualization in postgraduate education for pedagogical and scientific-pedagogical workers is defined; it is substantiated that modern professional and higher education teachers must respond to challenges related to the visualization of educational content in accordance with the cognitive processes of education seekers. The tasks facing postgraduate pedagogical education teachers include preparing pedagogical and scientific-pedagogical workers for implementing a visual-digital approach in the educational process and simultaneously ensuring effective visualization of their training in professional development courses; the principles of educational content visualization are characterized; it is revealed that the use of a virtual interactive board is useful for organizing joint activities in creating and editing documents and images and communicating in real-time; the possibilities of YouTube and TikTok platforms for preparing and applying educational video content are analyzed; the educational program of the topic "Using modern electronic demonstration equipment in the educational process" is examined. Conclusions: The essence of the concept “visualization” is presented as a process and result of perceiving the surrounding reality, representing static and dynamic ways of presenting visual information, which can be characterized by a combination of images with texts, sounds, numbers, or other signs; the principles of preparing visual materials are defined (optimal volume, audience interest correspondence, perceptibility, aesthetic appearance, dynamism, diversity of forms); key aspects of visualization in the modern educational process of postgraduate pedagogical education are identified: psychological (considering the peculiarities of cognitive processes of education seekers), content-related (application of modern means of visualizing the educational process), and technological (use of electronic resources and demonstration equipment); the relevance of social media in creating visual educational content for teacher professional development is proven (activating and motivating participants, better organizing the learning process, providing additional possibilities for storing and exchanging information).
