Keywords:
Interactive teaching, educational technology, conceptual understanding, digital education, cognitive skills, educational challenge, interactive learningAbstract
This study aims to examine the impact of technology-based interactive teaching methods on enhancing students' conceptual understanding and to analyze the challenges and opportunities associated with this educational approach. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach, with data collected through semi-structured interviews with 24 teachers and educational experts in Tehran. Participants were selected through purposive sampling, and data collection continued until theoretical saturation was achieved. The collected data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis with NVivo software. Open, axial, and selective coding techniques were applied to identify key patterns related to the research topic. The findings revealed that interactive technologies in education facilitate easier access to learning resources, increase student motivation, enhance educational interactions, and improve conceptual understanding. Additionally, technology contributed to the development of cognitive and social skills among students. However, several challenges were identified, including infrastructural limitations, lack of teacher knowledge and skills, and disciplinary issues in virtual classrooms. Technology-based interactive teaching methods have significantly improved students' conceptual understanding and transformed learning into a dynamic and engaging process. However, for successful implementation, educational infrastructure needs to be strengthened, teachers require proper training, and strategies must be developed to manage the associated challenges.
