Abstract:The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between college students’ cyberbullying awareness and their ability to ensure their personal cybersecurity. A total of 401 students participated in this study. The Ability to Ensure Personal Cybersecurity Scale, the Cyberbullying Awareness Scale, and a Personal Information Form developed by the researcher were all used during data collection. A relational screening model was used in this study. Also, an unpaired t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOV… Show more
“…First of all, it was concluded that there was no significant difference between the thoughts of students studying in different types of secondary schools about cyberbullying behaviors. It can be said that this result is in parallel with the results of many studies conducted in the field (Patchin & Hinduja, 2006;Williams & Guerra, 2007;Topçu, Erdur-Baker & Çapa-Aydın, 2008;Arıcak, 2009;Türk & Gürkan, 2019;Zorlu, 2023). However, in studies conducted in the field, bullying (or cyberbullying) is generally handled depending on the gender variable, and accordingly, it is seen that male students have more bullying behaviors or tendencies (Boulton & Underwood, 1992;Ahmad & Smith, 1994;Li, 2007;Topçu et al, 2008;Satan, 2010;Serin, 2012;İskender, 2013;Pekşen Süslü & Oktay, 2018).…”

Cyberbullying has gained a different dimension in educational institutions, especially with the development of technology and the widespread use of Information Technologies, the internet, and social media tools. From this point of view, this study aims to examine the relationship between cyberbullying among secondary school students and the problems in the school motivation and education system. In this context, the study was carried out with the survey model, which is one of the quantitative research methods, and a total of 341 students, 196 girls and 145 boys, from the Secondary School and Imam Hatip Secondary Schools selected from the Tuzla district of Istanbul participated in the study. In addition, the "Cyberbullying and Internet Aggression Screening Scale" developed by Hinduja and Patchin (2007) and adapted to Turkish by Özdemir and Akar (2011), and the "School Motivation Scale for Secondary School Students" developed by Kaynak, Özhan, and Kan (2017) were used. According to the findings obtained from the research, It has been determined that students' exposure to cyberbullying behaviors affects their school motivation.

“…Triplett [31] carried out a review study to find out how children's cybersecurity awareness was important, and concluded that the adoption of game-based strategies to increase children's awareness could be effective. Zorlu [32] conducted an empirical study with students of Bartin University, Turkey, and found that college students required awareness to keep themselves protected against cyberbullying and cybersecurity threats. The results highlighted that female students had higher awareness as compared to male students.…”

Information technology is considered as a key enabler to achieve “education for all” as a sustainable development goal; however, involvement in the education sector has introduced security risks along with benefits. Students’ exposure to the internet has increased the probability of cybersecurity attacks. To foster a more sustainable use of technology, it is crucial that students are made aware of information security risks and can keep themselves protected in the online sphere. In this paper, we present the results of a cross-sectional study that explores information-security awareness among students in Saudi Arabia. Empirical data were collected using an online questionnaire and a factor analysis was conducted using partial least-squares structured equation modelling. Based on the existing literature, we focused on four key constructs: password management, infrastructure management, email management, and the perception of security. The results of this study have highlighted that email management and infrastructure management were seen as relevant factors, whereas password management and the perception of security were not considered relevant factors by the respondents. We have also chalked out recommendations to improve cybersecurity awareness among students. The findings of this study will potentially help educational institutions and parents to prepare students in adopting security practices while they are online.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, bilgi işlemsel düşünmenin sorgulayıcı fen öğretimine entegrasyonuna yönelik “karışımları ayırma” konusunda özgün bir etkinlik geliştirmektir. Bu bağlamda ortaokul 7. sınıf on dört öğrenciye, sorgulayıcı öğrenme sürecinde bilgi işlemsel düşünme becerilerini işe koşmalarına olanak tanıyacak grup aktiviteleri yaptırılmıştır. Etkinlik, “sor” basamağında tahılların tarladan sofraya gelene kadar geçen sürecine ilişkin algoritma tasarlama aktivitesi ile başlatılmıştır. “Planlama” basamadığında öğrencilerin problemi soyutlayıp ayrıştırarak çözüme ilişkin planlamalar yapmalarına olanak tanınmıştır. “Keşfetme” basamağında modelleme, veri düzenleme ve genelleme yapılarak; çözüm için gerekli bilgilerin keşfedilmesi sağlanmıştır. “Oluştur” basamağında fikir olarak tasarlanan akıllı gıda tesisinin modellenmesi ve tesisin çalışma prensibine ait algoritma geliştirilmesi istenmiştir. Son olarak “yansıt” basamağında ise gruplardan tasarım fikirlerini sunmaları istenmiş, tasarımlara yönelik hata ayıklama ve çözümü farklı problemlere uyarlama-genelleme çalışmalarına yer verilmiştir. Böylece etkinlikte öğrencilerin sorgulama ve bilgi işlemsel düşünme becerilerini sistematik bir şekilde kullanmaları sağlanmıştır. Öğrenciler, algoritmaların oluşturulması ve bilgilerin kalıcılığı anlamında süreci olumlu olarak değerlendirmiş, planlama ve oluştur aşaması için verilen sürenin artırılmasını önermişlerdir. Bu doğrultuda; aşamalara ilişkin zamanlama planlaması gözden geçirilerek farklı ünite ve sınıf düzeyleri için benzer etkinliklerin geliştirilebileceği önerisinde bulunulmuştur.
