The relevance of this study is due to the search for paradigms and approaches to the formation of students’ world view in the framework of technological culture. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the essence of the concepts «world picture», «spirituality» in relation to the pedagogical foundations of the formation of technological culture at students employing ethno-aesthetic values. The article discusses the theoretical foundations and patterns of the formation of technological culture on a spiritual basis at students. The use of folk arts and crafts as a carrier of ethno-aesthetic values is proposed as a means of resolving philosophical issues in the formation of the components of a technological culture. The activity-oriented aspect of the formation of technological culture is considered to be a priority in the development and harmonization of the qualities of the personality and society. The mechanism that is able to regulate the sphere of spirituality in the formation of motivational, cognitive, and active components of students’ technological culture is the educational route «school – university – institution for supplementary education», which opens up prospects for further development of the problem posed.
