Description¶
A one-hour secondary-school curriculum package developed by Vanderhoven et al. for teaching students and parents about social-network contact risks, including privacy risks, cyberbullying, and sexual solicitation.
Components¶
- One-hour SNS contact-risks educational package with syllabus, teacher manual, and parental homework task: The developed intervention is a package for secondary education focusing on contact risks (privacy risks, cyberbullying, sexual solicitation), consisting of a pupil syllabus and a teacher manual, with every course lasting one hour. Its fixed structure includes an introduction, an individual exercise on a simulated worst-case SNS profile, class discussion, a voting-cards game, and theory with real-life examples, applying the prevention and constructivist principles in Table 3.
