THE ROLE OF CYBERSECURITY IN PROMOTING MEANINGFUL LEARNING AND TRANSFORMATIVE SOCIAL PRACTICES IN THE DIGITAL WORLD

Abstract

This research aims to analyze concepts, tools and methodological practices that enable positive changes in the training and performance of managers, as well as in the way of managing learning environments. The qualitative approach was used as a foundation and bibliographical research, through a theoretical review based on the thoughts of Demo (2011), Moran, Masetto and Behrens (2010), Ribble (2015), Santos (2022), Zimmer (2023) and other normative documents guided discussions on the implementation of information security policies. When we concluded the production of this investigation, it became clear that there is only an educational strategy that guarantees the principles of information security when teachers are trained to promote awareness-raising work based on pedagogical practice in the virtual environment. It was found that information security enhances, among other advantages for learning, autonomy, self-esteem, basic knowledge of legislation, creativity, experience in research, construction of virtual objects, sharing of knowledge in the community, initiative, logical reasoning and, consequently, productivity. Finally, this stance of conscious and supportive use of digital resources establishes some changes in the way the world and education are seen in the teacher-student-knowledge relationship.
