Abstract

The publication under review is the textbook by H. Khlibovska, M. Kryzhanovska, and O. Naumchuk “History of Ukraine. World history: Textbook for the 6th Grade of Institutions of General Secondary Education” (Ternopil: Aston, 2023), a national competition winner in 2023. The reviewer sees the recognition accorded to this textbook as an unfortunate misunderstanding. The work is replete with errors of fact, logic, and style. The structure of the textbook is poorly thought out and far from effective. The authors’ attempts to encourage the use of the Internet in the learning process in most cases cannot be considered successful. It must be stated that the textbook does not meet the requirements of the ‘New Ukrainian School.’
