Sixty Percent: A Proactive Approach to Developing a Security-Conscious Mindset in Children
Pages 475 - 479
Abstract
To protect young children from online harm in the long term, a proactive approach is required. Sixty Percent intends to mitigate such risks by providing children with a mobile tool to encourage interactive reflection and critical thinking. The investigation gathers behavioural data from parents and guardians, in addition to feedback from users aged eight to eleven, for a prototype imitating a mobile application. The findings indicate there is indeed a gap in the market for mobile applications, aimed to enthuse and educate the younger generation, that shouldn't be on social media, yet still are. Children have indicated the mobile tool is an engaging method which they can exploit for knowledge and support whilst navigating cyberspace.
