Subclaims¶

q2 i? Participants increased knowledge significantly on module 2 (V = 248.5, P = 0.011) and on cybersecurity awareness (V = 316.5, P = 0.015), but not on other modules or on ask (P = 0.117) and action (P = 0.458) dimensions. → Florence Martin 2025

q2 · i? · design · r2

Wilcoxon signed-rank tests on module-level and AAA-dimension scores in the 50-participant evaluation. The quote reports the significant module 2 result; the article separately reports significant awareness gains (V = 316.5, P = 0.015) and unchanged ask (V = 78.5, P = 0.117) and action (V = 48, P = 0.458) knowledge.

"The Participants increased their knowledge significantly on module 2 (V = 248.5, P = 0.011 < 0.05), while no significant increment was found among other modules"

• Knowledge gains from the cybersecurity PD differed by technology background: participants without a technology background improved significantly while those with one did not — related
• The Edtech Cybersecurity and Privacy AAA PD significantly increased K-12 school personnel knowledge from pre-test to post-test — a broader claim this one bears on
• PD knowledge gains varied by district type but not school level: suburban participants improved significantly while urban and rural participants and all three school levels did not — related
