Abstract

This paper presents a set of data generated and analyzed by the Edu4Sec
Project – Effective Education for Improving Data Security Awareness. The
project commenced in 2016 and is being implemented by a multidisciplinary
team based at the University of Padova. The aim is to improve secondary
school students' data security awareness and develop behaviors
and strategies to reduce cyber risks arising from data security issues.
Three secondary schools have been involved in a quasi-experimental research
design. A training intervention was provided to 116 students engaged
in experiential and interactive learning activities related to key
concepts of data security. The same intervention was provided to the experimental
group of 140 students, supplemented by gamification elements.
The paper focuses on the pre- and post-intervention questionnaire
results.
