The relevance of this work is determined by contradictions that accompany the process of digital transformation of the Russian educational system. First of all, these are contradictions between the growing requirements for the training of graduates who would be able to effectively solve professional problems in the digital economy and the unwillingness of educational institutions to meet them, between the didactic potential of modern information and communication technologies and its superficial use in the educational process, between the development levels of media competence by the main participants in pedagogical activity, their various values, goals and expectations, between the declared and real pace and quality of the computerization of the educational system, and others. The research purpose is to study the accumulated experience of digitalization of the Russian education (changing the essence and functionality of information and communication technologies in education, their role in achieving the current tasks facing the education system, specific features of their application for educational purposes) and designating axiological and target aspects as priority provisions for the development of future concepts of digital transformation of educational systems.
