Introduction. Digital transformation of the educational space resulted in a new problem area associated with the search for solutions to eliminate the existing gap between the pace of digitalization of society and education and the preparation of teachers to work in the digital environment in the context of digitalization of the educational process. The article is aimed at monitoring and analyzing the possible risks of digital transformation in the general education system. Materials and methods. During the study of the possible risks of digital transformation in the general education system, a survey among teachers of general education organizations of Krasnodar region was conducted (122 people). The professional standard "Teacher (Pedagogical Activity in the Field of Preschool, Primary General, Basic General, Secondary General Education) (Educator, Teacher)" dated October 18, 2013 No. 544n and the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education (FSES HE 44.03.01 Pedagogical Education) were analyzed and compared. The results of the study. The study aimed at determining the possible risks of digital transformation in the general education system showed that a significant number of respondents noted the following factors as risk zones: technical working conditions of teachers (21.3% of teachers are not provided with the necessary equipment), their ambiguous attitude to distance education (against 72.1% of teachers) and digital transformation of education (against 29.5% of teachers), incomplete understanding of trends in the development of modern education, insufficient level of mastering information and communication technologies (more than 55% of teachers possess ICT at an average or low level). The identified risks are not fully reflected in the professional standard of the teacher, which gives grounds for its significant revision and updating. Discussion and conclusion. Based on the results of the survey of teachers the following recommendations are offered: a) to provide the subjects of the educational process with the necessary computer and telecommunications equipment with high-speed Internet access; b) to create optimal working conditions for teaching staff contributing to the improvement of professional competencies under digitalization; c) to involve more teachers in the development of academic materials posted on Russian educational online resources; d) to implement educational and enlightenment activities among teachers to form ideas about the directions, opportunities and prospects of digital transformation of general education, to generate a new way of thinking of a modern teacher under digitalization.

One of the targets of the Federal state educational standard of General secondary education is the training of creative and critical thinking of high school graduates who know the basics of scientific methods of cognition of the world, motivated for creativity and innovation. The leading component of creativity is intelligence, allowing with high efficiency to solve mental tasks, including a limited amount of information. Therefore, the problem of intellectual development of students, which is directly related to the formation of their conceptual thinking, acquires a special significance in modern general education school. From the standpoint of system-structural approach the formation of conceptual thinking is at school age in the development of academic disciplines, built on the conceptual principle of the scientific method and ways of the actions inherent in the particular subject. Conceptual thinking in this approach is viewed as a systemic quality that has the properties of multidimensionality, multilevelity and dynamism, which includes personal and cognitive constructs. According to the principle of structure, conceptual thinking is a mental function, which is not only structured, but also included in structure of the personality. On the basis of theoretical and empirical data, the dialectical interrelation of the logical and psychological aspects of thinking is considered. It is shown that the growth of the reproductive (logical) component of thinking has a significant positive impact on the development of creative thinking of students. Also the author identifies verbal-logical method of learning as strategic component of the educational process that establishes the relationship between all components of the pedagogical system aimed at developing conceptual thinking of students. From the standpoint of the system-structural approach the peculiarities of development of conceptual thinking of students of 10–11 grades of secondary school are characterized: structuring of the content of education based on the principle of scientific presentation of information, orientation of cognitive activity of students in the direction of mastering the methods and laws of scientific knowledge, the formation of logical qualities of thinking through the verbal and logical method of teaching, in-depth subject and logical training of teaching staff.
