Abstract

The article highlights the theoretical, historical, and methodological foundations of psychology textbook development within the context of the evolution of psychological education and the contemporary transformation of the educational environment. The relevance of the study is determined by the need to generalize the historical experience of developing educational literature in psychology, identify the patterns of its evolution, and substantiate the conceptual principles for improving modern psychology textbooks in accordance with the requirements of competency-based education, digitalization, and European integration. A comprehensive analysis of the evolution of psychology textbook development was conducted, revealing the historical and theoretical prerequisites for its formation, as well as identifying current trends and future prospects for the improvement of educational literature in psychology. The study analyzes the stages of the development of psychological knowledge and its representation in educational literature, from classical works to contemporary textbooks. It characterizes the development of both national and international traditions of psychology textbook development and examines the evolution of the content, structure, didactic apparatus, and methodological tools of psychology publications. The principal trends in the development of contemporary psychology textbooks are identified, including a competency-based approach, interactivity, practice-oriented learning, multimedia integration, academic integrity, scientific relevance, and adaptability to the needs of diverse categories of learners. The scientific novelty of the study lies in its comprehensive historical and theoretical interpretation of the development of psychology textbook creation, the systematization of the stages of its formation, the generalization of the trends in the evolution of the content and structure of psychology textbooks, and the substantiation of conceptual directions for their modernization under the conditions of contemporary educational transformations. The practical significance of the research consists in the possibility of applying its findings to the development of psychology textbooks and instructional materials, the improvement of educational programs, the training of future psychologists and educators, as well as further research in the history of psychology, pedagogy, and textbook theory.
