This article examines the role of the digital learning environment in developing and enhancing students’ cognitive interest through a person-centered developmental pedagogical approach. Using a mixed-method design, the study employed surveys, classroom observations, and teacher interviews. Findings demonstrate that interactivity, multimedia content, personalized tasks, and opportunities for self-regulated learning significantly increase students’ intrinsic motivation and cognitive engagement. The results indicate that person-centered pedagogy strengthens the effectiveness of digital technologies. Practical recommendations for improving the organization of digital lessons are proposed.
