The role of interactive technologies in improving the quality of learning and development of scientific competences in modern education

Abstract

In contemporary education, interactive technologies assume a pivotal role in enhancing the learning quality and the development of scientific competencies. This research substantiates their necessity within the educational framework. The study's primary objective was to identify the impact of interactive technologies on the activation of the learning process, the formation of critical thinking and the improvement of communication skills. This is achieved by examining their impact on the activation of the learning process, the cultivation of critical thinking, and the enhancement of communication skills. The methodological approach comprised a comprehensive literature review. The analysis encompassed 50 sources from esteemed academic databases, including Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Scopus, with selection executed through stratified sampling. The inclusion criteria encompassed articles published between 2019 and 2024 that investigated Ukrainian and international research in pedagogy, psychology, and teaching methodology, mainly focusing on implementing interactive instructional practices. The results showed that interactive technologies fostered active learning, enhanced critical thinking, and built practical skills. Using case studies in teaching "English for Professional Purposes" positively impacted the understanding of theoretical concepts and improved communication skills. Teachers assume the facilitator's status in this environment while students actively create content collaboratively. Nonetheless, challenges persist, including psychological barriers and adapting to innovative pedagogical methods. In conclusion, the study underscored that interactive technologies represent an effective instrument for augmenting the quality of education and fostering essential skills. Future research avenues should concentrate on developing models to promote communicative competence, thereby facilitating overcoming communication barriers among students.
