Abstract

This article examines the methodological and pedagogical foundations of applying interactive teaching approaches to enhance the cognitive activity of older preschool children within the context of educational transformation. The study emphasizes the importance of learner-centered educational practices that promote curiosity, critical thinking, creativity, communication, and independent learning among preschool children. Particular attention is given to the implementation of interactive strategies, including game-based learning, problem-solving activities, collaborative learning, project-based instruction, and digital educational technologies. These approaches create an engaging learning environment that encourages active participation and supports the comprehensive cognitive development of children. The article highlights that educational transformation requires teachers to adopt innovative instructional methods capable of meeting the developmental needs of preschool learners while improving the quality of education. The findings indicate that the systematic integration of interactive methods significantly contributes to strengthening cognitive competence, increasing learning motivation, and preparing children successfully for primary education. Therefore, interactive educational technologies represent an effective pedagogical tool for fostering sustainable cognitive development in modern preschool education.
