Filling Cybersecurity Education Gap in Primary and Secondary Schools
Filling Cybersecurity Education Gap in Primary and Secondary Schools
R. Alpha Amirrachman, PhD, Ervan Yudi Widyarto, S. Kom, M. Kom.
A recent tragedy in Palembang, South Sumatra, highlighted the dangers of online interactions, with a young girl lured by four boys via social media and subsequently assaulted. Dr. Amirrachman and Widyarto state that cases like this are no longer uncommon, as studies in Malaysia show that nearly 80% of similar cases involve minors initially connecting with strangers online. Predators often use fake identities to manipulate victims, revealing a concerning trend in digital crime.
These cases demonstrate that cyber threats now extend beyond financial or political domains, affecting individual safety, particularly the youth. However, the authors state that cybersecurity education in Indonesia is still largely exclusive to higher education. Primary and secondary students, despite inherent familiarity and interest in digital technology, aren't equipped with adequate preparedness for online risks. While some vocational schools have introduced computer networking techniques as a subject, comprehensive cybersecurity education remains limited, with only a handful of institutions piloting such programs.
Although many tech companies promote coding and AI curricula, the authors observe that cybersecurity is often neglected. Without this crucial knowledge, students remain vulnerable to cyberbullying and exploitation. Expanding digital literacy shouldn't only be limited to programming, robotics, and such, but first and foremost, safe online practices and cybersecurity awareness to prepare students for real-world digital threats. Dr. Amirrachman and Widyarto believe that the popularity of digital technology among students can be a valuable opportunity to introduce cybersecurity elements in engaging ways, such as competitions that promote safe digital practices. Schools and private sectors, benefiting from students' interests, can collaborate on integrating cybersecurity into their teachings.
Lastly, the authors assert that the rapid pace of technological adoption brings ethical challenges, including misuse of personal data, misinformation, and a lack of accountability. Building an inclusive digital education system requires teaching technical skills alongside character-building—consideration for privacy, collaborative ethics, and a sense of responsibility. Thus, as role models, teachers are essential to guiding students toward a safer, ethical digital future.

Abstract
Equity, inclusion, and education are remarkable elements encompassed in the United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs). As such, there is a growing number of publications on these topics presenting some challenges to envision an overarching understating of the connections among these subjects. Hence, the purpose of the current study is to explore the body of research that involves equity, inclusion, and education that is contributed by Indonesian academia by employing bibliometric and science mapping analysis. The search was conducted on SCOPUS database which resulted in some 400 plus documents after applying the pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data was analyzed employing various bibliometric analysis indicators such as number of publications, contributing institutions, citation, co-citation, and keywords. Microsoft excel and VOSviewer software was employed for conducting the analysis. The findings revealed that the number of publications and citations on the topics has been quiet fluctuating. Analyses of the intellectual and conceptual structure revealed that trans-disciplinary nature of scholarship on the topic. Based on the findings, the needs for a greater emphasis on research in these areas by Indonesian institutions/researchers are realized. It is also suggested that researchers employ an integrated approach by investigating variables from the policy and practice perspectives as well as at an organizational or systemic level. The findings are string support that education is an integral component of achieving equity and inclusion which should be taken into account while devising policies and implementing the same.
Validation of the Indonesian version of the psychological capital questionnaire (PCQ) in higher education: a Rasch analysis
Ratnaningsih, I.Z., Prihatsanti, U., Prasetyo, A.R. and Sumintono, B. (2024), "Validation of the Indonesian version of the psychological capital questionnaire (PCQ) in higher education: a Rasch analysis", Journal of Applied Research in Higher Education, https://doi.org/10.1108/JARHE-10-2023-0480
Abstract
Purpose – The present study aimed to validate the Indonesian-language version of the psychological capital
questionnaire (PCQ), specifically within the context of higher education, by utilising Rasch analysis to
evaluate the reliability and validity aspect such as item-fit statistics, rating scale function, and differential item
functioning of the instrument. These questionnaires are designed to assess students’ initial psychological
status, aiming to ease their transition from school to university and monitor undergraduate students’ mental
health.
Design/methodology/approach – A total of 1,012 undergraduate students (female 5 61.2%;
male 5 38.8%) from a university in Central Java, Indonesia completed the 24-item Indonesian version of
the PCQ. The sampling technique used is quota sampling. Data were analysed using The Rasch model
analysis, it was performed using the Winsteps 3.73 software.
Findings – The results of the Rasch analysis indicated that the reliability of the instrument was good
(a50.80), item quality was excellent (1.00), and person reliability was consistent (0.77). In the validity aspect,
all four domains of the PCQ exhibited unidimensionality, and a rating scale with four answer choices was
deemed appropriate. The study also identifies item difficulty level in each dimension.
Practical implications – The practical implications of this study are beneficial for higher education
institutions. They can use the validated Indonesian version of the PCQ to monitor the mental well-being of
undergraduate students. Mapping the PsyCap can serve as a basis for developing and determining learning
policies, potentially leading to improvements in student academic performance. The theoretical implications
of this study are related to the advancement of measurement theory. By employing Rasch analysis, the study
contributes to enhancing the validity and reliability of measurement, particularly in the context of educational
and psychological assessment in Indonesia.
Originality/value – This current study confirmed that the Indonesian version of PCQ adequately measures
psychological capital in higher education, particularly in the Indonesian context.
