In modern higher education, developing students’ self-directed learning competence has become a key pedagogical
priority, particularly in technical fields that require continuous professional development. This study investigates
the effectiveness of visual teaching methods in enhancing self-directed learning competence among senior undergraduate
students majoring in Mehnat muhofazasi va texnika xavfsizligi. A quasi-experimental research design was employed
involving fourth-year students from several technical higher education institutions. The participants were divided into
experimental and control groups. While the control group was taught using traditional instructional methods, the experimental
group was instructed through visual teaching strategies, including mind maps, diagrams, and infographics. Data
were collected using a self-directed learning readiness questionnaire as well as pre-test and post-test assessments
related to occupational safety topics. Descriptive statistical analysis was applied to compare the learning outcomes of both
groups. The findings indicate that students exposed to visual teaching methods demonstrated higher levels of learning
autonomy, motivation, and engagement compared to those taught through traditional approaches. The results confirm
that visual teaching methods significantly contribute to the development of self-directed learning competence among
Mehnat muhofazasi va texnika xavfsizligi students. The study provides practical implications for improving teaching strategies
in technical higher education institutions and supports the integration of visual learning tools into professional safety
education.
