Abstract
In the context of the perception of the educational material provided to the learner through a variety of media , the principle of complementarity means psychologically justified distribution of this material on the visual and auditory modalities. Unfortunately, the psychological criteria of such distribution is rarely taken into account in designing electronic textbooks . In the context of knowledge acquisition the principle of complementarity means an organization of educational material that provides free mutual transitions between the general (abstract) and detailed (specific) knowledge of the student. In psychology, these cognitive aspects of the principle of complementarity have both methodological and practical foundation, which has not lost its power in the present and can serve as a good theoretical basis for solving practical problems arising in the design of media educational process.
KEYWORDS: media tools in education, the principle of complementarity, abstract and concrete knowledge.
