The Influence of Elements of Innovative Physics Teaching Methods on Student Interest

The quality of education and the development of new technologies are key factors in the nation's social and economic growth, which in turn creates fresh demands for education system improvement. Uzbekistan has recently adopted more initiatives for the advancement of science and education, and the country's educational system is still undergoing significant transformation. Human capital development is one of the seven key sectors included in the Development Strategy for New Uzbekistan for 2022–2026. Among its many objectives, the strategies seek to improve educational quality and elevate the credentials and expertise of faculty to a global standard. The purpose of our work is to select and combine the most appropriate innovative methods to make lessons highly effective, modern, and engaging for the development of students' creative abilities, thinking, attention, and memory. This paper examines the effectiveness of innovative teaching methods, such as project-based learning and virtual laboratories, in increasing student interest in physics. The research highlights how these strategies foster creativity, critical thinking, and engagement, ultimately improving educational outcomes. Uzbekistan has prioritized the enhancement of human capital through educational reforms, particularly in science and technology. The socio-economic development of a country is largely dependent on the quality of education and the integration of new technologies, necessitating continuous improvements in educational methodologies.
