IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF THE TEACHING PROCESS THROUGH THE SYSTEMATIC APPLICATION OF INTERACTIVE METHODS IN GRADES V–IX

Abstract. This article examines how the systematic application of interactive teaching methods in grades V–IX of Azerbaijan’s general education schools can improve the efficiency of the teaching process. The research aims to determine how interactive approaches can enhance student motivation and achievement at the middle school level. Data were gathered through analysis of pedagogical literature, surveys of teachers and students, and classroom observations. The findings indicate that systematically implementing interactive techniques - such as group discussions, collaborative projects, role-playing, and problem-based learning - significantly increases student engagement and fosters the development of critical and creative thinking skills. The article provides a theoretical basis and practical recommendations for expanding the use of interactive methods in Azerbaijani schools, highlighting their impact on improving teaching quality in the context of ongoing curriculum reforms.
