METHODOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS FOR DEVELOPING SCHOOL STUDENTS’ CYBERSECURITY DECISION-MAKING SKILLS THROUGH DIGITAL SIMULATIONS
Keywords:
cybersecurity, digital simulation, decision-making, branching scenario, experiential learning, phishing, social engineering, digital literacy, comparative analysis, reflective discussion.Abstract
This article analyzes the development of cybersecurity-related decision-making
skills among general secondary school students through digital simulations. Drawing on
experiential learning theory, the naturalistic decision-making model, and the competency-
based approach, the study identifies the structural components of these skills, conducts a
comparative analysis of different types of educational simulations, and provides a
theoretical justification for a methodological model and didactic principles for integrating them into the educational process.
