IMPROVING WRITING IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS THROUGH INTEGRATION OF GOOGLE DOCS: INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVES AND THE CASE OF UZBEKISTAN

In the rapidly evolving landscape of education, integrating digital technologies has become essential to enhance learning outcomes and prepare students for the demands of the 21st century. Writing proficiency, a fundamental skill in secondary education, benefits significantly from innovative tools that foster collaboration, immediate feedback, and active student engagement. Google Docs, a cloud-based collaborative platform, offers such opportunities by enabling real-time editing, peer interaction, and access to resources beyond the traditional classroom. This thesis investigates the impact of integrating Google Docs on improving writing skills among secondary school students, drawing on international research and focusing specifically on its introduction and implementation in Uzbekistan.
