Abstract:

This study examined the levels of cybersecurity knowledge and behaviour among 50 pre-service teachers. A structured questionnaire was used to assess their understanding of common cyber risks and the extent to which they follow safe online practices. The findings showed that while many participants demonstrated moderate to high cybersecurity knowledge, their actual behaviour online was less consistent. A noticeable gap emerged between what they knew and what they practiced, indicating that awareness alone does not automatically lead to safe digital habits. Overall, the study highlights the importance of strengthening practical cybersecurity training within teacher education programmes to better prepare future teachers to navigate and promote digital safety in educational settings.
