Annotation

The development of classification systems or taxonomy of the studied phenomena is one of the main tasks of any science. This is part of the continuing interest in the development of clusters of activities. However, it is likely but no system suitable for all users will ever be developed. Unlike biological species or chemical compounds, clustering of social activity remains a multifactorial problem. Any taxonomy in pedagogy is based on theories and models shared by the researcher, as well as hypotheses that he verifies. The concept of cluster activity analysis was developed in response to the need to identify patterns in the huge variety of activities available to people. For example, the head of an educational organization (schools, HEI) or an analyst can compare the types of activities used at a particular facility with the allocation of a full range of activities, a generalized list of clusters of activities to identify structural dependence and any gaps. The taxonomy of pedagogical activity based on cluster analysis can be used by educational managers to represent and describe possible social effects and risks. In this regard, the purpose of the study is to identify the possibilities of applying factor and cluster analysis in the digital transformation of education. Research objectives: 1) to analyze the foreign experience of using factor and cluster analysis in socio-humanitarian research; 2) to analyze the domestic experience of using factor and cluster analysis in pedagogical research; 3) to describe the experience of the author’s factor analysis of social risks of reforming the system of general education; 4) to show the prospects and possibilities of using such methods in the digital transformation of education.
