Abstract. This article examines the importance of interactive teaching methods in improving students’ knowledge and enhancing the quality of the educational process. Interactive methods encourage active participation, independent thinking, collaboration, communication, and problem-solving. Unlike traditional approaches that mainly emphasize the transmission of information from teacher to student, interactive learning creates opportunities for students to explore concepts, exchange ideas, and apply theoretical knowledge to practical situations. The article discusses the main types of interactive methods, their educational benefits, and the conditions necessary for their effective implementation. Particular attention is paid to the role of teachers in creating a supportive learning environment and assessing students’ academic progress.
