Information security in the context of digital literacy is a digital skill that enables safe and purposeful movement through virtual space. The age limit and frequency of use of the Internet by young generations has been moved back a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the concern for information security of young people is increasingly emphasized. If, and to what extent, knowledge of the issue of identification and authentication affects the information security of high school students aged 16 to 19 in the virtual space, the research question addressed by the authors of this paper was to determine which student behaviors pose a potential danger compromising their information security by establishing a correlation between the variables that determine student behavior and the variables used to examine their level of security in a virtual environment. The research was conducted using a questionnaire on a sample of high school students in the Republic of Croatia, the results of which showed that some students practice behaviors that are potentially dangerous, make them vulnerable and easy targets of cyber predators and attackers, which is why there is cause for concern and a need for a additional education of children of primary and secondary school age in the field of information security in the form of the introduction of the subject Digital Literacy. Based on the results, a model for assessing the level of digital literacy of adolescents that affect information literacy can be designed, but also further related research in the field of information literacy of children and youth can be conducted.
翻译:数字扫盲背景下的信息安全是一种数字技能,有助于通过虚拟空间进行安全和有目的的移动,由于COVID-19大流行,年轻一代使用因特网的年龄限制和频率已经回移了一年,对年轻人信息安全的关注日益受到重视,如果关于识别和认证问题的知识影响到虚拟空间中16至19岁中学生的信息安全,以及在多大程度上影响到虚拟空间中16至19岁中学生的信息安全,本文作者所探讨的研究问题是,确定哪些学生的行为构成潜在危险,损害其信息安全,确定学生行为与虚拟环境中审查学生安全程度所使用的变量之间的关联;研究使用了克罗地亚共和国高中学生抽样问卷,研究结果表明,有些学生的行为可能具有危险性,使他们容易成为网络捕食者和攻击者的目标,因此,在信息安全领域对初等和中等学校年龄儿童进行更多的教育值得关注,而且有必要以引入数字扫盲为形式,从而在信息安全领域对中小学生进行更多的教育,从而影响他们的信息安全;在数字扫盲方面,可以设计一个相关的信息模型,用以评估青少年的识字程度;在数字扫盲方面,也可以设计一个相关的信息领域,用来评估与青少年有关的知识水平。
