Abstract

A textbook is such a specific medium that, regardless of great competition of more recent and sophisticated sources of knowledge, it still easily survives in teaching. The assumptions of didactic shaping of a textbook have been developing according to didactic theory and in harmony with realization of contemporary upbringing and education aims. Having in mind that the development of creative thinking is one of the important aims of contemporary upbringing and education, realization of this aim when designing a textbook is a starting point of empirical analysis offered in the paper. One of the features of qualitatively shaped textbook refers to the tasks developing creative thinking skills. Therefore the empirical part of the paper focuses on the analyses of these features of a textbook of basic science – a teaching subject which is rather complex and represents the foundation for the development of great deal of student’s knowledge, abilities and skills significant for life.
