DIDACTIC POTENTIAL OF INTERACTIVE EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES AND THEIR ROLE IN TEACHING UROLOGY

Background: Interactive educational technologies (IET)—including simulation, case-based learning, and digital modules—are increasingly used to strengthen clinical competence. Objective: To compare learning performance and perceived educational value of IET in undergraduate urology teaching across three medical institutes in Uzbekistan. Methods: A descriptive, multi-center comparison was conducted among students at Fergana Medical Institute of Public Health (FMIOPH), Andijan State Medical Institute (ASMI), and Bukhara State Medical Institute (BSMI). Results: FMIOPH showed consistently higher performance indicators and learner satisfaction. Conclusion: Well-integrated IET can measurably enhance urology training, especially when aligned with competency-based assessment.
