Interactive methods of teaching web development: how to engage students in active learning

Abstract

The article highlights the main interactive web development teaching methods that improve student learning. The main ones include the project method, case study method, real-time coding, sparring partnership method, debates, discussions, interactive games, virtual laboratories, and simulations. The interactive methods presented in the article help students to realise their professional competences through active work. The paper highlights the ways in which interactive methods provide practical experience, stimulate critical thinking and creativity, and promote the development of collaboration and problem-solving skills. It is emphasised that the use of these approaches makes learning more engaging and productive, in line with the modern requirements for web development education. The project method and the case method provide an opportunity to work on real or simulated situations, which develops critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Real-time coding allows students to see the impact of changes in the code directly, which contributes to a deeper understanding of the processes. Sparring partnerships and group discussions encourage students to actively communicate and collaborate, while interactive games and virtual labs create a motivating learning environment. The article demonstrates how these methods together help students to learn better, develop professional competences and be ready for real-world challenges in web development. The paper describes the systems and tools that students should master when developing websites, web pages, and web applications. The analysis of scientific literature on the topic made it possible to reflect the current trends in the development of the IT sphere, with an emphasis on web development
