Innovative Teaching Methods in Modern Education: Trends, Implementation, and Challenges

Abstract

In the 21st century, the rapid development of science, technology, and global communication has transformed the traditional concept of education. Innovative teaching methods, which integrate advanced pedagogical strategies and modern technologies, have emerged as an essential element of effective learning. These methods emphasize learner-centered approaches, critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration, replacing rote memorization with active, experiential learning. This paper examines the theoretical foundations of innovative teaching, provides a classification of widely used methods, explores the integration of technology into the learning process, and analyzes both the benefits and the challenges of implementation. The study concludes that innovation in teaching is not merely the adoption of new tools, but a comprehensive rethinking of the educational process to meet the demands of the modern world.
