PSYCHODIDACTIC APPROACH TO THE CREATION OF TEXTBOOK TEXTS FOR THE PROMOTION OF INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS (ON THE EXAMPLE OF SCHOOL MATHEMATICS). Education & Pedagogy Journal. 2022;2(4):88-97. DOI:

Introduction. The most important factor for students’ intellectual development is the teaching content. A textbook text is a didactic unit of teaching content. Therefore, the question arises about the requirements for modern textbook texts in the framework of the psycho-didactic approach. Materials and Methods. The study was conducted based on an analysis of the psychological features of the intellectual development of students within the psycho-didactic approach, which is based on the psychological and pedagogical rationale of the multifunctionality of modern mathematics teaching materials. Results and Discussion. The concept of development-focused educational text, which should be constructed as a multidimensional semantic space (hypertext), is introduced. Classification of development-focused educational texts is presented (using school mathematics as an example) based on the ontological theory of intelligence, targeting the enrichment of the main components of students’ mental experience – cognitive, conceptual, metacognitive, and intensional experience. Typology of pedagogical developmental texts of different types in teaching mathematics in middle school is given. Conclusion. The use of developmental textbook texts contributes to understanding mathematical material and developing students’ intellectual resources.
