Abstract

This article examines the significance of interactive teaching methods in enhancing student motivation in higher education. The shortcomings of traditional teaching methods are analyzed, and the necessity of integrating interactive approaches to improve student engagement is substantiated. The main interactive methods are described, including gamification, the flipped classroom method, project-based learning, the use of VR/AR, and cooperative learning. The role of digital technologies in modernizing the educational process is emphasized, along with their impact on the development of soft skills, critical thinking, and communication skills. The conclusions highlight that interactive teaching methods are a crucial component of modern education, fostering not only improved academic performance but also the development of key 21st-century competencies.
