Pedagogical Design of the Textbook for the University

Социокультурные условия развития системы высшего образования: повсеместное использование информационных технологий, новых средств коммуникации, динамичность процессов, происходящих в современном обществе, привели к появлению такого направления в педагогике, как педагогический дизайн. Данное понятие заимствовано из англоязычной литературы и определяется как направление информатизации образовательного процесса или создания некого учебного контента дисциплины. Знания педагогического дизайна большей частью применяются для проектирования дистанционного и онлайн-обучения. Однако ограничивать педагогический дизайн проектированием одним только контентом нецелесообразно, его принципы и подходы могут быть эффективно перенесены на традиционный процесс обучения. Педагогический дизайн направлен на то, чтобы сделать процесс обучения интересным, относительно легким и доступным. Соответственно, если эти задачи рассматривать с позиции учебного процесса в целом, то педагогический дизайн может позволить эффективно не только систематизировать педагогическое воздействие в рамках традиционных лекционных и практических занятий, но и проектировать средства обучения (лекционные презентации, учебно-методические пособия, учебники и т.п.). Учебник как основное средство обучения в образовательном процессе претерпевает изменения. В статье рассматриваются подходы и принципы педагогического дизайна, использованные авторами статьи при проектировании учебника для студентов вуза, а также раскрываются требования к содержанию современного учебника для вуза в условиях реализации двухуровневой подготовки специалистов (бакалавров и магистров) в компетентностном формате. Современный учебник для вуза должен быть средством обучения не только, излагающим предметное содержание дисциплины, но и обеспечивающим реализацию целей и задач, преемственность содержания для каждого уровня подготовки. The sociocultural conditions for the development of the higher education system: the widespread use of information technology, new means of communication, and the dynamism of processes taking place in modern society, have led to the emergence of such a direction in pedagogy as pedagogical design. This concept is borrowed from English-language literature and is defined as the direction of informatization of the educational process or the creation of some educational content of the discipline. The knowledge of pedagogical design is mainly used for the design of distance and online learning. However, it is not advisable to limit pedagogical design to designing content alone with content; its principles and approaches can be effectively transferred to the traditional learning process. The pedagogical design is aimed at making the learning process interesting, relatively easy and affordable. Accordingly, if these tasks are considered from the perspective of the educational process as a whole, then pedagogical design can effectively not only systematize the pedagogical impact in the framework of traditional lecture and practical classes, but also design teaching tools (lecture presentations, teaching aids, textbooks, etc.). The textbook as the main means of teaching in the educational process is undergoing changes. The article discusses the approaches and principles of pedagogical design used by the authors of the article when designing a textbook for university students, and also reveals the requirements for the content of a modern textbook for a university in the context of the implementation of two-level training of specialists (bachelors and masters) in a competent format. A modern textbook for a university should be a learning tool, not only setting out the subject matter of the discipline, but also ensuring the implementation of the goals and objectives of training, the continuity of the content of students' training for each level of training.

The Engagement of Nineteenth-Century Scholars with Jirmānūs Farḥāt’s Baḥth al-Maṭālib: An Early Modern Textbook for Ottoman Schools

This article focuses on the engagement of three scholars of the nineteenth century, later to be called scholars of the nahḍa, with an Arabic grammar manual titled Baḥth al-maṭālib wa-ḥathth al-ṭālib (“The Pursuit of the Questions and the Encouragement of the Student”), supposedly written in 1705 by the Maronite monk Jibrīl (later Jirmānūs) Farḥāt (1670–1732). The scholars considered in this contribution are Aḥmad Fāris al-Shidyāq (d. 1887), Buṭrus al-Bustānī (d. 1883), and Saʿīd al-Khūrī al-Shartūnī (d. 1912). They engaged with this text by editing and printing it, and by making it available for use in Ottoman public schools. Through a close reading of representative excerpts from their printed editions, this article explores the three scholars’ philological engagement with Baḥth al-maṭālib and its multiple uses in nineteenth-century schools. The ways in which they worked on the text, it is argued, illustrate their different pedagogical approaches towards the teaching of the Arabic language.

Quantum Mechanics

Designed for a two-semester advanced undergraduate or graduate level course, this distinctive and modern textbook provides students with the physical intuition and mathematical skills to tackle even complex problems in quantum mechanics with ease and fluency. Beginning with a detailed introduction to quantum states and Dirac notation, the book then develops the overarching theoretical framework of quantum mechanics, before explaining physical quantum mechanical properties such as angular momentum and spin. Symmetries and groups in quantum mechanics, important components of current research, are covered at length. The second part of the text focuses on applications, and includes a detailed chapter on quantum entanglement, one of the most exciting modern applications of quantum mechanics, and of key importance in quantum information and computation. Numerous exercises are interspersed throughout the text, expanding upon key concepts and further developing students' understanding. A fully worked solutions manual and lecture slides are available for instructors.

Lexical And Grammatical Features Of The Compilation Of The RCT Textbook (Russian As A Foreign Language)

The article considers the system of principles for creating a modern textbook for adults as a basic linguodidactic tool in teaching Russian to foreigners at an advanced stage of training, with the focus of the educational process on the formation of intercultural competence. Russian language textbook for foreigners contains topics and situations of reality that are relevant to Russian linguoculture in their verbal embodiment in texts of different genres and styles of the modern Russian language. The author demonstrates that with a cognitive-communicative approach, the discursive base of the textbook on the Russian language for foreigners contains relevant topics and situations of reality in their verbal embodiment in texts of different genres and styles of the modern Russian language.; the linguistic concept of the textbook is based on the achievements of theoretical Russian studies; the methodological interpretation of the educational material reflects the understanding of the experience of teaching Russian to foreigners. The textbook serves as a basis for creative use both by the teacher in the educational process and by the students in their independent work, which plays a crucial role in learning. The author emphasizes the importance of the modern textbook as a means of improving the professional competence of the teacher. The author notes that the textbook takes into account the specifics of the forms and norms of modern communication, including the use of information and communication technologies. The textbook is based on clearly defined goals based on the internal motivation of students, focuses on the development and improvement of their communication skills with the active cooperation of the teacher and the student.

New book science: a look into the future

Modern media2 transformations are accompanied by changes in the spatio-temporal characteristics of social interaction. Traditional and new ways of fixing and transmitting ideas, their materialization through various communication channels are at the heart of these changes. This shapes the need for actualization of research, development of new approaches, clarification of the object and the subject of medialogical disciplines, including book studies.In this study, the main problems of modern Russian bibliology have been identified: limited potential of morally outdated approaches (structural-typological, functional, documentgraphics), a breakaway from the dynamically changing international social and humanitarian agenda and non-participation in international bibliological forums, the functioning of a closed system of scholarly communication. Among other problems are: methodological cliché, limited use of sociological methods, slow digitalization of book studies.The contemporary understanding of the production and dissemination of symbolic forms as an unstructured and non-hierarchical system requires fundamentally new research approaches, the extension of methodological tools, crossdisciplinary study of the theory and history of books.The purpose of the article is to form the concept of “a new book science” with the object which should be considered as a system with emphasis on feedback “author – writing – text – reading – reader”.A system of projects focused on practical implementation of this concept is proposed: medialogical approach development; interdisciplinary research of the history of the reader and reading in Russia; the formation of an independent scientific field – the sociology of book – and the design of the eponymous educational discipline; preparation of a modern textbook on book science for higher education.
