사이버대학 교원의 교수역량에 대한 교육요구도 분석

This study aims to investigate the importance and performance of teaching competencies among professors at a cyber university, analyze educational needs by overall faculty and teaching experience, and explore ways to enhance teaching competencies at cyber universities. In February 2023, 60 professors at A cyber university were asked to rate the importance and performance of five teaching competencies. Based on the importance and performance data, paired sample tᐨtests, Borich's need formula, and the focus for locus model were applied to derive educational needs for the entire faculty and by years of teaching experience. The results showed that, first, the performance of all teaching competencies was significantly lower than their importance. Secondly, the competencies identified as needing priority improvement were ‘Basic Skills’, ‘Understanding of Cyber Education’, and ‘Course Design’. Thirdly, for professors with less than three years of experience, ‘Understanding of Cyber Education’ and ‘Course Design’ were identified as the priority areas for improvement. For those with three to twelve years of experience, ‘Course Design’ and ‘Understanding of Cyber Education’ were prioritized. For those with thirteen to sixteen years, ‘Basic Skills’ was prioritized. For those with over seventeen years, ‘Understanding of Cyber Education’ showed a high need for educational improvement. The findings of this study are expected to serve as foundational data for developing strategies to enhance teaching competencies in cyber universities.

IMPLEMENTATION OF INTEGRATED CYBER EDUCATION IN EUROPE

The development of partnerships between European countries in the field of cyber education is currently playing a significant role in enhancing countries’ cyber potential and comprehensive and systemic counteraction to cyber threats. The research aims to outline the main principles of implementing an integrated cyber education system in European countries. To solve the tasks set, the research uses the following methods: cognition methods to study theoretical foundations of digital education development; comparative and analytical methods to analyze National Cybersecurity Indices and Digital Development Level Indices of the EU and Ukraine; heuristic (expert) methods to formulate the goal, objectives, conclusions and recommendations to form a multilevel generalized model of cyber education; and logical and formalized methods to outline the relevance of cyber education to counter cyber threats. The research discusses the issue of digital education, presents National Cybersecurity Indices and Digital Development Level Indices of countries, explores the gaps between National Cybersecurity Indices and Digital Development Level Indices of the EU and Ukraine, and outlines the basic principles of the European Cybersecurity Taxonomy. The main research results are the proposed categorical apparatus of integrated cyber education in European countries and the multi-level generalized model of cyber education to gradually acquire skills and abilities to combat cyber threats introduced from primary school to adult education. Thus, a comprehensive acquisition of skills to combat cyber threats will help to develop knowledge, skills and abilities of European citizens in the field of cybersecurity and improve the cyber potential of European countries. The introduction of unified regulatory courses and methodological support developed in accordance with the best international practices and harmonized with the terminology of EU and NATO member states will enable effective cooperation in a single information and cyber space.

Preventing computer crime by knowing the legal regulations that ensure the protection of computer systems

Our intention in this study is to emphasise a few aspects relating to the need to support cyber education and to preventive goals, by informing people about the strategies in place at Union and/or national level, which reflect current realities, in relation to which each person, active entities and, last but not least, the authorities will have to act so as to identify early on any possible risks. We have also aimed to identify legislation that criminalises acts of cyber fraud, in which respect we have referred to certain articles in the criminal codes of several European countries. We consider that cyber education and legal education, regardless of the social level one belongs to, the social roles one takes on at a given time, and/or of age, are essential to setting the foundations for a cyber security culture.

콘텐츠활용중심 대규모 원격강의의 효과적인 교수설계와 운영을 위한 설문조사 및 실제 사례 연구

The purpose of this study is to search for ways to report an actual survey and its analysis case of my 947 students in the spring semester, 2023 conducted to identify the characteristics and interests of digital native learners and reflect them in effective instructional design and operation. In order to develop effective video contents and establish strategies for using learning materials in cyber education, learners' satisfaction and dissatisfaction with their cyber classes must first be clearly recognized. In addition, the characteristics of learners identified through questionnaire analysis are reflected in class design and operation. Learners who are digital natives not only naturally accept the cyber class environment applied with advanced information and communication technology, but also actively utilize it for learning. With the rapidly growing development of information and communication technology, the traditional educational paradigm is also changing. Existing theories of cyber learning that the separation of time and space between professors and learners restricts interaction through mutual communication also discuss areas that must change according to this advanced educational environment.

Sustainable development of the system of formal cyber education: reflection of modern concepts

The article defines the conceptual framework for sustainable development of the formal cyberworld system. An analysis of contemporary regulatory, legal, and scientific sources on the preparation of cyber specialists for the security and defense sector has been conducted. The main research methods identified are synthesis, comparative analysis, focusing method, and cause-and-effect method. The new U.S. Cybersecurity Strategy addressing cyber education issues has been analyzed, which sets new requirements for cyber professionals in the context of the transformation of the global and national security environment. The use of analysis data from EU cybersecurity educational programs revealed the characteristic variability of the cybersecurity educational landscape in the EU and helped identify key gaps in the preparation of future professionals. It has been demonstrated that the integration of Ukrainian cyber education into the Euro-Atlantic educational space should occur through the updating of cybersecurity curricula based on the best international practices, the establishment of a unified system for accreditation, certification, and the development of cyber e-learning platforms for formal education. The competency-based approach in the preparation of cyber specialists is identified as a priority direction in research across various fields of knowledge. It has been revealed that there is a hysteresis of skills within the knowledge-ability-skill triad, acquired during education, in relation to the demands of advanced technologies in professional activities.

POLITICAL VISIONS OF CYBER EDUCATION

This article is the first to analyze the political visions of the new US National Cybersecurity Strategy in terms of cyber education, which in the current security situation is becoming a kind of habitus of the global information space and launches a new long-term policy of the key Ukrainian international partnership in harmonizing security approaches. The identification of new priorities in both the global and national security environment focuses the attention of the US Strategy on a comprehensive and coordinated approach of public policy towards expanding access to cyber education to meet the needs for cybersecurity expertise in all sectors of the economy to continue to innovate in secure and sustainable next-generation technologies. It is determined that the need to actualize the problem of training modern cybersecurity specialists is due to the exponential global digitalization, which has increased the need for training cybersecurity specialists in various spheres of society. It is proved that the state strategic documents on cybersecurity pay attention to the reform of cyber education through the updating and approval of professional standards, which are the basis for improving educational programs and introducing new modern specializations. It has been found that the NATO DEEP program in Ukraine continues to adapt military education to NATO requirements, where cyber awareness of a military specialist in the new model of military education becomes a priority feature of his professionalism. The analysis of the implementation of the cyber literacy program showed that there is a huge demand for various cyber hygiene measures to protect young people from the destructive effects of disinformation and manipulative information in cyberspace, taking into account the emergence of new cyber threats and challenges.

The Importance of Conceptualising the Human-Centric Approach in Maintaining and Promoting Cybersecurity-Hygiene in Healthcare 4.0

The cyberspace depicts an increasing number of difficulties related to security, especially in healthcare. This is evident from how vulnerable critical infrastructures are to cyberattacks and are unprotected against cybercrime. Users, ideally, should maintain a good level of cyber hygiene, via regular software updates and the development of unique passwords, as an effective way to become resilient to cyberattacks. Cyber security breaches are a top priority, and most users are aware that their behaviours may put them at risk; however, they are not educated to follow best practices, such as protecting their passwords. Mass cyber education may serve as a means to offset poor cyber security behaviours; however, mandatory education becomes a questionable point if the content is not focused on human factors, using human-centric approaches and taking into account end users’ behaviours, which is currently the case. The nature of the present paper is largely exploratory, and the purpose is two-fold: To present and explore the cyber hygiene definition, context and habits of end users in order to strengthen our understanding of users. Our paper reports the best practices that should be used by healthcare organisations and healthcare professionals to maintain good cyber hygiene and how these can be applied via a healthcare use case scenario to increase awareness related to data privacy and cybersecurity. This is an issue of great importance and urgency considering the rapid increase of cyberattacks in healthcare organisations, mainly due to human errors. Further to that, based on human-centric approaches, our long-term vision and future work involves facilitating the development of efficient practices and education associated with cybersecurity hygiene via a flexible, adaptable and practical framework.

A Cybersecurity Educated Community

The need for cybersecurity education has grown significantly for all citizens. However, cybersecurity education has not been adequately addressed in fields outside of this domain. Cybersecurity concerns increase every time a new device connects to a network. As such, we need to increase involvement and advancement of cybersecurity education at all levels and in every discipline. Education, audit, and enforcement regarding cybersecurity are critical aspects and are the responsibility of all system stakeholders. It is no longer enough to rely on the security team to be responsible for combating cyber threats. Involvement and commitment from all stakeholders are essential and universal and begins with a cross-disciplinary reform in education. In this paper, the need to deliver cybersecurity education across all disciplines and at all levels is discussed. Specifically, the focus is at the following four types of users: K-12, college, technical professionals, and all other citizens. A curriculum roadmap that integrates cybersecurity throughout technical and nontechnical curricula is proposed as a foundation for future cyber education planning. The goal is to introduce students and citizens to the concept of cybersecurity, to ensure they can apply cybersecurity concepts, and to expose them to multiple approaches to solving cybersecurity related problems.

Luster Regained : A Novel Cyber Incident Risk Prediction Model Using Machine Learning

Physical isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic prompted a 45% increase in digital use [5,15], leading to an increase in cyber incidents. This project seeks to understand the risk impact of prolonged internet use and evaluate opportunities for cyber education to lower such risk. In preparation for subsequent work, the project will learn about patterns in distress and the recovery of affected individuals. A 20-question English-language survey (Appendix A) was completed by 6th through 12th graders (n=1,869) across 4 countries. Analysis of the survey [1, 8, 10, 11, 13] indicated that the number of hours of internet use was a driver of the risk of cyber incidents. In addition to statistical analysis, the methodology used Google’s VertexAI AutoML [6] to generate an ensemble model to predict risk (on n=1 basis) from usage patterns (length of usage, gaming use, etc.). The cyber risk predictor model set has high overall accuracy (f1 score of 0.88) and precision and recall of 0.878. This low-cost approach to personalized risk scores could support periodic evaluation and trending of educational effectiveness in cyber safety. Separately, participants reported a strong association (Spearman’s Rho = 0.957) between distress from cyber incidents and recovery time. Among the respondents with high distress experiences, there is an urgent need to design support programs to help them cope.

A Study on Social Implications for Youth Taekwondo Education in the Metaverse Era

This study was conducted to find out in what direction cyber education is good for Taekwondo education, especially youth, and what social meaning it has in the era of Metaverse, and the following conclusions were drawn. First of all, due to COVID-19, it was possible to confirm the trend of changing the social atmosphere to a method using Metaverse, that is, cyberspace. In addition, education tailored to various Metaverse times is also required, and efforts are being made to establish a paradigm of a new era in each field of education in line with these demands. And Taekwondo is expected to have a large effect because it is smooth to switch to cyber education and has high accessibility to youth, the main learners. And the fact that individual training takes place in cyberspace is also the basis for Taekwondo to be meaningful as a major physical activity education event in the Metaverse era. And it can be seen as an effort to adapt to the new paradigm, and Simulation claimed by Baudrillard can be applied as a criterion for interpreting this meaning. Simulation can be a social theory that can reveal a new phase of education that can replace reality, and this attempt is thought to serve as a stepping stone for stable settlement in the future cyber education era.

Cyber Education for Korean Traditional Seodang Culture and Its Some Implication to Multiculturalism in the Korean Society

Purpose: This study aims to find a way to apply Korean traditional Seodang culture to cyber education and bring some implication to modern Korean society’s multiculturalism. To this end, it understands the characteristics of knowledge and education in the era of the 4th industrial revolution. That is the next-generation industrial revolution made up of the convergence of information and communication technology (ICT). Method: The specific method for this study is based on literature research. To back up the field experience, authors visited the Korean traditional Seodang and interviewed with its Teacher (called Hunjang). Results: The 4th industrial revolution has brought about digital natives who can understand and utilize that civilization freely. They make great use of and enjoy digital environments such as personal computer, cellular phone, and the internet. These digital natives are consumers and producers of civilization at the same time. In particular, there has been a great transition from untact to ontact after beginning of COVID-19. Requests to consider virtual reality and metaverse have increased. This study suggested some concrete ways to respond to such a trend of civilization transformation. Conclusion: Digital civilization is not limited to education, but dominates the entire modern civilization. There-fore, a practical way to adapt the very traditional Seodang culture to this modern civilization was presented. Such efforts break away from the passive attitude of continuing the tradition. Furthermore, it will contribute to strengthening the media literacy competency of today s youth and bridging the digital gap between the traditions of the past and modern civilization. Seodang, a traditional cultural content in modern Korean society, is expected to be a medium that goes beyond just one of cultural assets and enriches the complex and diverse multicultural situation. This idea comes from that Seodang in the Korean tradition attempted a voluntary bottum-up of voluntary education oriented toward the spirit of the times in a rural society. Modern Seodang culture can be contribut-ed to Korean modern multicultural society.

Cyberbullying Indicator as a Precursor to a Cyber Construct Development

The current global pandemic occasioned by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has been attributed, partially, to the growing range of cyber vises within the cyber ecosystem. One area of such impact is the increasing tendencies of cyber-bullying among students. Cyberbullying -the act of subjugating others using a cyber platform- is a growing concern among educators, especially in High-Schools. Whilst studies have been carried out towards understanding this menace, the approach towards identifying indicators of cyberbullying is largely missing in the literature. To address this research gap, this study proposed a cyberbullying framework based on the identification of some observable behavioral indicators. Using a self-administered measurement instrument from 30-respondents, the study observed the probability of a cyberbully construct, as a potential measure of the presence of cyberbullying; a probability that has been largely ignored in extant literature. This observation presents a veritable tool for the development of an active and integrated learning platform void of abuse among students. Furthermore, within the cyber education ecosystem, a cyberbullying construct would provide a mechanism for the development of an appropriate online learning platform, which would be useful to the information system and cyber education research communities.

Needs Analysis of Cyber Education-Based Pre-Marriage Guidance Models for Students

Marriage is a task of individual development. Conflicts, problems, and mismatches of expectations must be faced in marriage. Couples who are unable to resolve these issues will be more likely to choose separation or divorce. There are high divorce rates in Indonesia. Pre-marital guidance is part of efforts to prepare prospective married couples to achieve the expected quality of marriage. Currently, pre-marital guidance is carried out conventionally, such as through seminars or training. Meanwhile, what is needed by today’s Millennial society is clear, accurate, and flexible information to be accessed anywhere and anytime. For this reason, efforts are needed to develop a cyber education-based pre-marital guidance service model. The purpose of this study was to provide an analysis of material needs for the Cyber Education-Based Pre-Marriage Guidance Model. Descriptive quantitative methodology was used and data were collected through a Google Forms questionnaire. This questionnaire consisted of 18 questions compiled with the aim of uncovering needs relating to the following: 1) formulation of problems; 2) determination of the type of information or data; 3) data collection procedures; 4) data processing; and 5) decision-making based on data analysis results. 280 students from LPTK universities throughout Java participated, including from Universitas Negeri Malang, Universitas Negeri Surabaya, Universitas Negeri Semarang, Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta, and Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia.

Synchronous collaborative writing instruction in a university EFL context: Challenges and solutions

This study explored EFL instructors’ perceptions and practices to identify challenges of teaching synchronous collaborative writing (SCW) and then proposed solutions to the problems. The instructor survey of practices in online English writing instruction was sent to 52 instructors from 15 regional universities in Thailand; 51 responded to the survey and, after selection, 24 participants were included. Data also included classroom observations and interviews. The participants felt unprepared to teach SCW because of insufficient online pedagogical skills in engaging students in the classroom and a lack of technology skills in managing online classrooms, facilitating real-time collaborative writing and giving objective formative assessments. The findings suggest that EFL instructors improve their teaching quality regarding student engagement, goals, content, tools, classroom management strategies, instructor and student roles, SCW activities and assessment. These discoveries enable educators to develop contextualised guidelines for SCW practices and suggest initial preparation for EFL cyber education.

Experiential Cyber Education

There is a gap between available cyber professionals with necessary skills and experience to meet industry requirements. Institutions of higher education (IHE)—as well as other programs—have begun increasing course and degree offerings to help educate, train, and even retrain working professionals to close this gap. Of growing importance are tools and techniques to supplement theoretical development with accelerated experiential cyber training. Fortunately, there has been an increase in providers offering these services, although they vary substantially in features, costs, and opportunities. The purpose of this research is to identify a current spectrum of vendors and opportunities providing hands-on cyber training. The authors of this paper include cyber faculty at a university offering undergraduate and master's cybersecurity degrees. Both degrees are offered to resident as well as online students.
