Abstract
The article deals with the use of interactive seminar model for the development of professional competencies and activation of scientific activity of students in the discipline “Life Safety”. Traditional formats of seminars in higher education have their disadvantages. The interactive workshop model developed by the author, using the “Workshop” module in the Moodle learning management system, includes such elements as discussions, collective assessment, small group work, surveys, questionnaires and webinars. These activities promote critical thinking, collaboration, and active student participation. This model addresses the shortcomings of traditional seminars and improves the quality of research papers, deepens the understanding of compulsory disciplines and prepares students for scientific endeavors.
