Abstract: The purpose of the study is to develop a method for assessing the didactic complexity of educational texts on biomechanics, based on the consideration of their structural and semantic features, and to test it in practice. Research methods include the analysis of scientific and methodological literature, the creation of a computer program in ABCPascal, content analysis of educational texts using computer programs, and the use of online resources to measure text parameters. Research results. The problem of assessing the didactic complexity of texts on biomechanics has been analyzed, which can be found as a product of their structural and semantic complexities. A method has been proposed that involves verbal coding of formulas and illustrations, followed by the application of a computer program that identifies scientific terms and summarizes their complexities. An assessment of didactic complexity, volume, and information compression coefficient has been conducted on five text fragments containing formulas and illustrations. Conclusions. The developed method has scientific novelty and practical significance: the results of its application allow for the comparison of various elements of educational material based on didactic complexity, which is important for the creation of textbooks and educational-methodological aids in biomechanics, for the development of new tests, and for the assessment of student responses.
