Annotation: The article examines the historical emergence of the term «conflict transformation» and its interpretation in terms of international political practice of conflict resolution. The main differences between the terms «resolution», «management» of conflicts and conflict transformation are identified. The structure of conflict transformation, consisting of seven main aspects based on such principles as cooperation, personal development, communication, understanding, empathy, is studied. The GIAM model developed by modern scientists, which is aimed at implementing the practice of conflict transformation in the educational process, specifically during physical education classes, is investigated. The structure of the model, the main strategies used during classes, and the advantages of the model in the modern practice of working with conflicts in a student group are determined.
