APPROACHES TO THE FORMATION OF SCIENTIFIC THINKING IN CYBERSECURITY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Abstract

The need for specialists in the development of information systems is growing, therefore the cost and demand for educational programs and courses for “quick” entry into the specialty is increasing. Training of information security specialists is impossible without current and clear standards and training programs. Currently, there is no clear standard for a Cybersecurity major for Ph.D. The public discourse on the development and processing of passports of specialties should actualize the problems and challenges of the modern world market of information technologies. The application of best practices in state institutions and services will strengthen the security of the Ukrainian state. This article uses the experience of working with students of higher education at different levels. The corpus of the author’s publications over the past six years is used as the object of the research. The main research methods are a critical analysis of approaches to the activation of creative approaches in acquirers; comparative analysis of difficulties in preparing for the experiment and classification of publications by research areas. The work presents an overview of the information security labor market, its structure and features of interaction between employers and job applicants. The peculiarities of the development of information security specialists, as well as their phases of formation, are considered separately. Consolidation of university curricula and comparison of passports of scientific specialties (05.13.21 information protection systems, 21.05.01 information security, 05.13.06 information technologies, 13.00.10 information and communication technologies in education) of doctors of philosophy made it possible to single out the main directions, which a graduate of the “Cybersecurity” specialty should know and be able to do. Methods of involving students and graduate students in active learning are considered in a separate block. Statistics of cooperation with acquirers are analyzed, and it is shown that covering all aspects of cybersecurity is not always possible
