VARIABLE TEXTBOOK IN PRIMARY SCHOOL: ATTRIBUTES, FUNCTIONS, OPPORTUNITIES

Abstract

In the modern and transformational conditions of reforming the national education system, the problem of modernization of its leading components: content, form and structure is objectively urgent. The leading mission in solving the stated problem is to consider the revision of traditional approaches to the compilation of a textbook as a model of the content of the educational process, a formal carrier of knowledge and a means of structural-communicative interaction. In this way, the study of requirements and requests initiated by society and the scientific pedagogical community in relation to the design of an effective innovative textbook is currently an important aspect from the position of finding the latest solutions in the field of textbook creation.

The idea of creating an innovative textbook for general education, and above all for primary school, is a difficult task, which is determined by the complex and responsible nature of textbook creation and the close attention to this process by scientists, teachers and parents. Therefore, taking into account the unstoppable informatization and technologicalization of the learning process, a scientific discourse on the discussion of the most effective format of the school book, which would provide for the permanent modernization of the central means of learning and the expansion of its educational and communicative capabilities, is quite appropriate.

The need for innovative textbook creation technologies at the current stage of updating the education system is associated with cognitive and active interaction in the scope of “information providers – textbook – Information receivers”. The presented formula reflects the unique value of the innovative textbook as an intermediate component in the system-educational connection,
with the help of which, in fact, knowledge information is transmitted from the teacher (provider of knowledge) to students (consumers of knowledge), satisfying in the above way the requirements of education seekers regarding obtaining a modern set of educational and informational materials recorded and ready for transfer to addressees.

In terms of final conclusions, it should be noted that a modern variant textbook should be built according to the principle of alternativeness and satisfy the needs of students in educational services, regardless of their age and psychological characteristics, the status or location of the educational institution, the linguistic and cultural traditions of the community, the professional
level of teachers and managers, etc.
