“…So trainees need accessible theoretical under-pinning rationale for the practices being promoted [17]. With only 12% of children taking a computing subject post 14 [18] it is not suitable for CSOS education to be delivered predominantly in the computing curriculum. Especially when even teachers of computing do not all feel that they have the necessary skills to teach CSOS with 65% saying that they would like training in this area [19].…”

Using a realist review approach from a qualitative and pragmatic perspective, the ultimate aim here is to develop a Cybersecurity and Online Safety (CSOS) pedagogical approach for Initial Teacher Training. The approach here is needs based whilst societally situated. It is primarily intended for the preparation of initial teacher trainees. However, this emerging approach could also be of interest to those developing CSOS educational programmes. The aim here is not to outline specific instruction for a particular online harm. Neither is it to provide further security instruction, for example, on how to manage passwords. The aim is to propose a theoretical approach to CSOS contexts, mechanisms and outcomes. From this the future aim is to curate a set of appropriate tools, or heuristics, that can be taught and utilised by lay people or experts to address established or new CSOS issues. The work considers the current education landscape and the CSOS issues. Using Friere's pedagogical approach, the emergent themes are situated to the needs of the individual and society. The resulting theoretical approach should facilitate initial CSOS dialogues between educators and learners. These initial findings are surprising when situated alongside known pedagogies and theories.

“…Children receive little CSOS education up to the age of 14 and often none after. Only 11.9%of eligible pupils took a computing GCSE in the UK in 2017 [18,28,29]. Activities to develop useful hacking skills are reserved for elite children in schools to "encourage the best young minds" [30].…”
