Textbook - a publication that includes systematic knowledge of any scientific discipline used for educational purposes. Unlike a textbook, which contains complete information, it can focus on specific sections and include various solutions to a particular issue. The textbook is considered an additional, but not required educational tool.
Structure
Before compiling the manual, it is necessary to decide who it is intended for (teachers or students), what is the purpose of the publication. Based on the tasks, you need to choose the material that will become the basis of this methodological manual.
This publication should include such integral components as:
- annotation;
- content;
- introduction;
- main part;
- conclusion;
- bibliographic list.
As additional material it includes: introduction, images, terminological dictionary. The textbook is not considered a mandatory educational tool, but can provide significant assistance in learning.
Design Recommendations
After the text of the methodological publication is written and the didactic material is ready, you need to provide the manuscript for proofreading to the corrector even if the person is confident in his own literacy. When preparing a book, you should not count on the support of the Word program, since only a specialist can find certain errors and typos.
Making a manual - this is one of the most important points in its preparation. First of all, you need to make sure that all sections, paragraphs and chapters are written in a clear sequence, and the page numbers indicated in the content are correct. A manual is a publication in which tables, figures, and other additional components must also be numbered correctly. For each such component, a link is required, which is indicated in the text of the manual.
The following is an example of such a source of knowledge.
