Abstract

At present, the digitalization of education is one of the strategic directions of Kazakhstan‘s
development. The state program ―Digital Kazakhstan‖ and the Law ―On Education‖ clearly outline
the tasks of improving the quality of education, expanding its accessibility, and developing students‘
digital literacy. In this context, considering the characteristics of Generation Alpha, the integration of
digital platforms into the learning process becomes a relevant task.
The study was conducted among 7th-grade students, with the main goal of identifying the impact
of digital educational tools (Kundelik, Google Classroom, Kahoot, Quizizz, PhET Simulation) on
interest in the subject of biology. The research employed pre-test and post-test methods,
questionnaires, and experimental tasks.
The obtained results showed that at the initial stage, students‘ interest in the subject and their
experience in using digital tools were at an average level. After the experiment, interest in the subject
increased by 13%, perception of visual materials and gamified technologies improved by 13–15%,
and the number of students using digital devices rose from 8 to 11. The findings of the study
confirmed the effectiveness of combining traditional methods with modern digital platforms for
students of Generation Alpha and highlighted the practical significance of the topic
