Perceived Importance

Information security and privacy on the Internet are critical issues in our society. Importantly, children and adolescents need to understand the potential risk of using the Internet. In this research, we examine factors that motivate students’ Information Security Behavior on the Internet. A pilot survey of middle and junior high school students is the source of the data. This study provides a model that explains students’ behavior pertaining to Information Security. A significant research finding is that students’ perceived importance of Information Security plays a critical role in influencing their Information Security Behavior.

Information security in the context of digital literacy is a digital skill that enables safe and purposeful movement through virtual space. Due to rapid and unstoppable technological progress, multiplying opportunities and pushing the boundaries of digital technology and the Internet, the interest of the state and institutions within the state is to raise digital competencies of citizens, with special emphasis on children and youth as the most vulnerable groups of Internet users. The age limit and frequency of use of the Internet by young generations has been moved back a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the concern for information security of young people is increasingly emphasized. If, and to what extent, knowledge of the issue of identification and authentication affects the information security of high school students aged 16 to 19 in the virtual space, the research question addressed by the authors of this paper was to determine which student behaviors pose a potential danger compromising their information security by establishing a correlation between the variables that determine student behavior and the variables used to examine their level of security in a virtual environment. The research was conducted using a questionnaire on a sample of high school students in the Republic of Croatia, the results of which showed that some students practice behaviors that are potentially dangerous, make them vulnerable and easy targets of cyber predators and attackers, which is why there is cause for concern and a need for a additional education of children of primary and secondary school age in the field of information security in the form of the introduction of the subject Digital Literacy. Based on the results, a model for assessing the level of digital literacy of adolescents that affect information literacy can be designed, but also further related research in the field of information literacy of children and youth can be conducted.

The present study investigated the validity of the Metacognitive Knowledge in Mathematics Questionnaire (MKMQ), which taps the (1) metacognitive knowledge of the self (easiness/fluency vs. difficulty/lack of fluency the person has had in the past in basic mathematical notions); (2) the metacognitive knowledge of tasks (easy/low demands vs. difficult/high demands mathematical tasks), and (3) the metacognitive knowledge of strategies (cognitive/metacognitive strategies, competence-enhancing strategies, and avoidance strategies that serve coping with lack of fluency in mathematical task processing). The MKMQ was first administered to 311 junior high school students (grades 7 and 9) and then to 214 university students for crossvalidation. Confirmatory factor analyses confirmed the presence of 7-first-order interrelated factors. In both samples the convergent validity was tested correlating the seven factors with measures of self-concept in mathematics and mathematical ability. Predictive ability was tested using regression analyses in which the criterion variables were mean performance and feelings of difficulty in the processing of three mathematical problems. The findings support the theoretical claim that experience of difficulty is playing a critical role in the organization of metacognitive knowledge.

So that every student is able to compete with the outside world and have an established provision to continue their education to a higher level. Given the current situation where the world is confused with the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak, school students are also recognized by the existence of an education system from home. Education from home does not mean students only learn themselves, but students are expected to be able to work with teachers and other students using the internet. This system is called e-learning or educational media with the internet. In fact, many students do not understand e-learning, especially junior high school students.

Aim. The aim of this study was to determine the degree of the Internet addiction in a group of junior high school students and high school students and selected conditions of this state. Material and methods. The applied research method was a diagnostic survey, and the following tools: the Kimberly Young’s Internet Addiction Test and the authors’ self-designed survey. The study covered 263 junior high school and high school students. The research was carried out from April to June 2018. Results. The Internet addiction was observed in 11% of the surveyed students. The use of social networking sites was the most common reason for using the Internet among surveyed (95%). The health problems associated with the long time of using the network of addicted students were general fatigue (61%) and lack of sleep (61%). Students addicted to the Internet much more often felt lonely (61%), depressed, upset or sad (n = 22, 78.6%) in contrast to other respondents. Conclusions. Demographic variables (such as: sex, type of school, place of residence) have no significant impact on the development of Internet addiction. Psychosocial functioning has an impact on the development of the Internet addiction.
