Training of future teachers of mathematics and informatics to teaching schoolchildren to the bases of cybersecurity

Abstract

The active development of the cybersecurity industry has led not only to the need to develop specialized software, improve the skills of employees of large companies, but also to the formation of future teachers’ skills and abilities of competent behavior in cyberspace. The analysis of the normative documentation indicates that the problem of training future teachers of mathematics and computer science for teaching schoolchildren the basics of cybersecurity comes to the fore. The article is devoted to the description of a possible way to solve the identified problems. The article presents four levels of formation of knowledge, skills of students of pedagogical areas of training in the field of cybersecurity, means and methods of their achievement, structural components of cybersecurity and the disciplines of the curriculum (bachelor’s degree), allowing to master the content of these components, describes the special features of lecture and practical lessons. The authors of the article believe that the proposed approach allows us to implement the idea of lifelong cybersecurity education according to the scheme: schoolchildren — undergraduate students — graduate students — acting teachers.
