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

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 justify and analyse the role of interactive technologies in improving educational quality, particularly concerning the development of students' scientific competencies. 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 both Ukrainian and international research in the fields of pedagogy, psychology, and teaching methodology, particularly focusing on the implementation of interactive methods in instructional practices. The results showed that interactive technologies played a crucial role in fostering active learning, enhancing critical thinking, and building practical skills. The use of case studies in teaching "English for Professional Purposes" positively impacted the understanding of theoretical concepts and improved communication skills. In this environment, teachers assume the facilitators status, while students take an active part in collaboratively creating content. Nonetheless, challenges persist, including psychological barriers and the necessity for adaptation 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 aimed at promoting communicative competence, thereby facilitating the overcoming of communication barriers among students.
