ADDITIONAL PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION AS A RESOURCE FOR DIDACTIC TRAINING OF COMPUTER SCIENCE TEACHERS IN THE FIELD OF CYBERSECURITY

Abstract

The article is dedicated to a current topic related to improving the didactic training of computer science teachers in the field of cybersecurity. The work considers features of functioning of the institute for postgraduate professional training of teaching staff. The author highlight problems that arise in the design and implementation of the process of further professional training of computer science teachers and ways to solve the identified problems, which include the use of a co-evolutionary approach as a theoretical and methodological basis for developing didactic competence in the field of cybersecurity among computer science teachers. The work reveals the content of the concept of “didactic competence in the field of cybersecurity” and requirements for the process of organizing the training of computer science teachers, which contribute to the development of their didactic competence in the field of cybersecurity. The concept of “cybersecurity” is analyzed and problems associated with protecting schoolchildren from various types of cyber threats are formulated. To obtain additional professional education for computer science teachers, which contributes to the formation of didactic competence in the field of cybersecurity, the researcher offers a training course “Cybersecurity in an educational organization: didactic and technological aspects.”
