Didactic Possibilities of Using Software in Textile Materials Science Education

Abstract

This article aims to integrate software tools, digital technologies, and methodologies in textile materials science lessons to organize the learning process interactively and effectively, and to in-depth mastery of students' knowledge about textile types, their properties, and applications based on visual, practical, and independent analysis.The article highlights the role of digital visualization tools, multimedia resources, virtual simulations, and interactive learning platforms in improving students’ conceptual comprehension and practical skills. Special attention is given to the use of software-based demonstrations, digital laboratories, and independent analytical tasks that encourage active student participation, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. Through visual and hands-on learning approaches, students are enabled to analyze textile structures, compare material characteristics, and evaluate their suitability for various industrial and consumer applications. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the importance of integrating independent learning activities supported by digital technologies, which foster self-directed learning, creativity, and professional competence among students.
