The article is devoted to the justification of the methodological system of digital transformation of professional development of teachers of natural sciences and mathematics based on the synthesis of the provisions of digital pedagogy, andragogy, competency-based and system-activity approaches. The relevance of the study is due to the urgent need to modernise postgraduate pedagogical education in the conditions of digital transformation, military challenges. The article analyses modern scientific research on the digital transformation of professional development of teachers and identifies key trends in changes in the structure, content and technological support for advanced training of teachers of natural sciences and mathematics. Based on the generalisation of international and national approaches, the goal, objectives, structure and content of the methodological system of digital transformation of professional development of teachers of natural sciences and mathematics are determined. The methodological system of digital transformation of professional development was created based on the requests of society and teachers and contains conceptual, structural-functional, resource, technological, organizational-methodological and monitoring-evaluation components. The proposed methodological system reflects the cyclical nature of the teacher's professional development and his needs and ensures its personalization. An important component of the proposed system is the integration of technologies, simulators, data analytics, artificial intelligence in the information and educational environment. The conclusions substantiate the scientific value of the methodological system and outline the prospects for its empirical verification. The proposed methodological system should ensure the formation of digital and a professional competency of teachers improve the quality of science and mathematics education and is consistent with the requirements of the teacher's professional standard. The results of the study can be used to design advanced training programs, modernise postgraduate education and build digital educational ecosystems.
