摘要：The analysis of educational books published in the first decade of independent Ukraine allowed us to determine the following trends in the development of textbook creation in primary education: revision of the content of textbooks taking into account the principles of child-centrism, National Orientation, humanization; development of a new generation of educational literature by Ukrainian authors; preparation of unified educational books for three-year and four-year primary schools; creation of new types of textbooks and manuals – alternative, two-level, integrated, general development in nature; introduction of their testing and passing the "stamp" procedure. Along with positive trends in the development of textbook-making in primary education, we also note negative ones: deepening the problem of publishing educational literature, providing it to younger schoolchildren in a timely manner, preparing educational literature by low-professional authors, and returning payment for using textbooks.
