Abstract

The study examines interactive learning as a key factor in the professional development of higher education students within the context of digitalization and educational innovation. Its main objective is to develop and empirically verify the effectiveness of a pedagogical system and conditions designed to foster interactive learning in the training of future professionals. The methodology combined observation, questionnaires, structured interviews, pedagogical testing, and comparative diagnostics. Interactive engagement was assessed through three components: motivational, epistemological, and praxeological. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Pearson chi-square test. During the formative stage, various digital tools were implemented, including virtual laboratories, simulations, artificial intelligence applications, online platforms, webquests, and collaborative cloud services. The results showed a significant increase in interactive engagement levels among students in the experimental group compared to the control group (χ²emp = 15.001, p < 0.05). The findings indicate that integrating interactive technologies with well-defined pedagogical conditions enhances students’ motivation, knowledge acquisition, and practical collaborative skills. The proposed system supports the development of professional competencies and promotes effective engagement in higher education. These results offer valuable insights for improving contemporary educational practices and designing digitally enriched learning environments.
