On the problem of developing modern textbooks
Abstract
At present, a great deal of work is being done in Kazakhstan on the transition from the knowledgecentric educational paradigm to the activity oriented one, which required the transformation of learning objectives into learning outcomes. Accordingly, the requirements for competenceoriented textbooks, the coverage of which is the purpose of the article, have changed. The article addresses the problems of creating national textbooks. According to the author, a modern textbook should guide the student towards solving not only various curricular problems, but also personal, crosscurricular and supracurricular problems. Therefore, tasks that require not only individual, but also collective activities of students are important in the textbook. The basic principles of delivering teaching materials are also discussed: linear, concentric, and spiral. The author believes that currently the textbook is not the only source of information, but it should be the cornerstone of basic education, an entry point into the subject. An analysis of the research of scholars, dealing with the problems of creating textbooks, leads to the conclusion that the quality of textbooks is determined by the quality of its didactic apparatus and the functions performed by it.
