The rapid digital transformation of education has created new opportunities and challenges for the development of aesthetic education among pre-service teachers. While digital technologies have expanded access to educational resources and innovative learning environments, concerns remain regarding the preservation of cultural values, professional identity, and aesthetic sensitivity in teacher education. This study examines the role of professional culture in developing aesthetic education within digitally enriched learning environments. The research explores theoretical foundations of aesthetic education, professional culture, digital pedagogy, and teacher preparation. Particular attention is devoted to the interaction between professional culture and aesthetic competence, emphasizing how digital learning environments can foster creativity, cultural awareness, ethical responsibility, and aesthetic perception. The findings suggest that professional culture serves as a mediating factor that enhances the effectiveness of digital technologies in aesthetic education. Practical recommendations are proposed for integrating aesthetic, cultural, and digital dimensions into teacher education programs.
