Abstract

This article explores strategies for developing digital learning skills among dental students. In modern dental education, the integration of digital technologies is essential for enhancing both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Dental students need to master the use of virtual simulations, interactive laboratories, and online assessments to effectively prepare for clinical practice. The study highlights various pedagogical approaches that support the development of digital competencies, including gamification, self-directed learning, and collaborative online projects. These strategies aim to increase student engagement, motivation, and independent problem-solving abilities, thereby fostering a more interactive and effective learning environment.
