Abstract

Education plays an important and crucial role worldwide in the development of a skilled workforce. For many decades, the use of textbooks has been a traditional method of teaching, but the emergence and implementation of methods for assessing the effectiveness of teaching have found that most students do not master the content of the course to the expected level. Modern conditions of social development increasingly require the active introduction of innovative technologies of teaching and learning, rethinking the established systems of techniques and methods in the field of education. The article is devoted to one of the current problems in the modern educational process – the search for effective innovative methods of teaching and learning. In particular, among the main aspects of the study are research and search for the best modern methods of teaching and learning, solving problems of pedagogical innovation. Research and systematization of scientific approaches to the theoretical foundations of innovative teaching methods allowed to formulate a definition of innovative teaching method, which should be interpreted as a new way of organizing the learning process, which aims to improve learning and improve learning outcomes. Innovative teaching methods such as inverted classroom, gamification, design thinking, active learning and self-learning are systematized and analyzed. It is concluded that it is inexpedient to oppose traditional and innovative methods. The results of this study can significantly help educators to adopt the most effective teaching methods and styles based on their learning goals. The article notes that in the modern educational process the problem of finding the most effective innovative method of teaching and learning remains one of the most relevant in the world pedagogical and research activities. However, in the conditions of transformational changes in higher education, they need constant careful study and scientific and practical substantiation of the issue of the best experience of innovative educational activities; characteristics of the content of interactive methods and forms of education, the specifics of their use in higher education. Prospects for further research in the context of studying the factors of interdependence of development of all spheres of life in society and the development of innovative methods of teaching and learning using best educational practices are outlined.
