This paper explores the application of interactive teaching methods in computer science education, emphasizing their effectiveness in enhancing student learning and engagement. It examines the challenges of traditional lecture-based approaches and highlights how interactive techniques, such as collaborative projects, simulations, gamification, and coding challenges, can promote active learning. The paper also discusses the use of technology and various interactive tools to facilitate these methods. By examining the benefits of learner participation and problem-solving, this article advocates for the integration of interactive approaches in computer science instruction to foster a deeper understanding of complex concepts, improve practical skills, and increase student motivation.
