IMPROVING PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT THROUGH THE USE OF DIGITAL DIDACTIC TOOLS
Main Article Content
Abstract
The integration of digital technologies into primary education has created new opportunities for improving the quality of teaching and students’ academic achievement. This article examines the pedagogical potential of digital didactic tools, their role in developing cognitive activity, increasing learning motivation, and supporting individualized instruction among primary school students. Particular attention is given to interactive learning platforms, multimedia resources, digital assessment systems, and educational applications. The study employs theoretical analysis, comparative examination, and systematic interpretation of international educational research. The findings identify key pedagogical conditions under which digital resources can contribute to effective learning, including appropriate instructional design, teacher competence, timely feedback, and accessibility. The article also discusses challenges associated with digital inequality, excessive screen exposure, technological limitations, and insufficient teacher preparation. Practical recommendations are proposed for the systematic integration of digital didactic tools into primary education while maintaining the central role of teachers in the learning process.
