Attention is drawn to the formation of the pedagogy conceptual apparatus as a component of its methodology. Born in the philosophy bosom, pedagogy became an independent branch of scientific knowledge based on the J. Comenius teachings. It was established that pedagogy should act as a theoretical, fundamental, applied and practically oriented science. The essence, origin and sources of world and Ukrainian pedagogical terminology are highlighted. The essence of the "pedagogical terminology" concept as a lexical means and names system used to describe the theory and practice of education, training and education is considered. The genesis of Ukrainian pedagogical terminology is clarified. The first term recorded in "The Tale of Bygone Years" is "book teaching". Many pedagogical terms are considered in the first Ukrainian dictionary "Lexikon" by P. Berinda: "pedagog", "child guide", "fostun", "child teacher". Terms for defining different age groups are given: "diaper", "baby", "child", "child", "child", "adolescent", "youth". The scientific principles of pedagogy were developed by the outstanding Ukrainian teacher K. Ushinsky in the work "A person as a subject of education. An attempt at pedagogical anthropology". The term "pedagogy" is found in O. Duhnovich's work "People's Pedagogy". Various approaches to filling the conceptual and categorical apparatus of pedagogy are considered. The most important pedagogical categories are such concepts as upbringing, education, training. In addition, the most general concepts of fundamental importance are named – education, training, self-education, self-education, socialization, development, personality formation. The conducted research does not exhaust all scientific aspects of the selected pedagogical problem. The issue of the pedagogy`s basic categories integrating the content into the modern educational legislation of Ukraine requires further study.
