The process of transformation of education is currently at the stage of formation of teaching methods and practices, including those based on the use of predictive models. The problem of formation is the change in the functional place of education in the conditions of the fourth industrial revolution. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the validity of the use of metaphorical synergetics in predictive modeling of pedagogical processes within the educational ecosystem. The scientific novelty lies in the justification of the use of the ecosystem approach in predictive pedagogical modeling with the inclusion of an interdisciplinary metaphorical language of synergetics and the definition of the content of its basic concepts within the subject area. As a result, the subject content of the main metaphors of synergetics in relation to the modeling of predictive models of education transformation is revealed.
