This article presents a pedagogical model, criteria, and taxonomy for the development of valeological culture among dental students. The
study is based on a competency-based approach, constructivist pedagogy, and the integration of digital educational technologies. A fourcomponent model (motivational, cognitive, practical, and reflective) was developed and implemented through case-based learning,
simulation training, and adaptive digital tools. The evaluation system included criteria assessing students’ motivation, knowledge, practical
skills, and reflective abilities. The results demonstrated a significant increase (28–32%) in valeological competencies among students in
the experimental group, particularly in practical skills and clinical thinking.
