Keywords:
pediatric dentistry, pedagogical technologies, interactive methods, simulationAbstract
This article analyzes the effectiveness of modern pedagogical technologies in teaching pediatric dentistry. The study explores the impact of interactive methods, simulation technologies, and information and communication technologies (ICT) on the learning process. The findings indicate that the use of these approaches enhances students’ clinical reasoning, strengthens practical skills, and increases learning motivation. The article also provides methodological recommendations for integrating contemporary pedagogical approaches into pediatric dentistry education.
