Keywords:
student motivation, higher education, interactive teaching methods, collaborative learning, flipped classroom, problem-based learning, technology in education, educational engagement, active learning strategies.Abstract
This article explores the importance of student motivation in higher education and highlights how interactive teaching methods can significantly enhance learners' engagement and academic performance. It discusses various approaches such as collaborative learning, flipped classrooms, technology-enhanced tools, and problem-based learning. By shifting the educational focus from passive listening to active participation, these methods foster both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. The article also addresses potential challenges in implementation and emphasizes the need for institutional support to successfully integrate interactive strategies in modern classrooms.
