EDU: Enhancing Cybersecurity Education for Native Students Using Virtual Laboratories

该提案将在雅卡马民族和华盛顿大学博塞尔分校之间建立教育联系，以利用虚拟实验室加强对土著学生的网络安全教育。这些实验室将使用场景来提供网络安全实践方面的实践经验。该项目将采用一种新的网络安全教育方法，重点关注本土学生的既定成功指标。该项目将侧重于在被定义为学业成功关键指标的领域吸引学生的教育设计。它将增强学生在这些关键指示领域的经验，并将开发一个架构和软件，其他教育机构可以利用它通过虚拟实验室共享资源。这个项目的预期结果是一个由两门课程组成的项目，可以在任何水平上教授，但主要针对初中生和高中生。这些课程将利用John Biggs开发的观察学习成果分类结构来接近材料并验证学生的教育进展。该项目将提供社区建设和教育经验，吸引各种各样的学生和教师，重点关注传统上在高等教育中成功率较低的学生群体的成功机会。安全与可信网络空间（SaTC）项目资助从可信计算系统角度解决网络安全问题的提案；社会、行为和经济科学视角；以及完全专注于网络安全教育的提案。该项目将覆盖那些在传统高等教育项目中没有取得成功的学生群体，并将有助于在这些群体的现有学生和未来学生之间建立一个社区。在这个项目中开发的课程和软件将能够被其他想要建立虚拟实验室的土著学生社区重用，而不管他们的特定文化背景如何。该提案将开发一种网络安全教育模式，可用于向本土学生提供低成本的高质量实用教育，并旨在鼓励他们继续接受教育。

This proposal will develop an educational link between the Yakama Nation and the University of Washington at Bothell to enhance Cybersecurity education for Native students using virtual laboratories. The laboratories will use scenarios to provide hands-on experience in the practical aspects of Cybersecurity. The project will use a new approach to Cybersecurity education that focuses on established success indicators for Native students. The project will focus on an educational design that appeals to the students in areas that are defined as key indicators of academic success. It will enhance students' experiences in these key indicative areas and will develop an architecture and software that can be utilized by other educational organizations to share resources via a virtual laboratory. The expected outcome of this project is a program consisting of two courses that can be taught at any level, but are focused on middle and high school students. These courses will utilize the Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes taxonomy developed by John Biggs to approach the material and validate the educational progress of the students. The project will provide a community-building and educational experience that will engage a diverse set of students and teachers focusing on the opportunity for success for student groups that have traditionally poor success rates in higher education. The Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) program funds proposals that address Cybersecurity from a Trustworthy Computing Systems perspective; a Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences perspective; and proposals focusing entirely on Cybersecurity Education.The project will reach groups of students that have not had success in traditional higher education programs and will help to establish a community between existing students and future students from these groups. The courses and software developed in this project will be able to be reused for other Native student communities that want to establish virtual laboratories, regardless of their particular cultural backgrounds. This proposal will develop a model for Cybersecurity education that can be used to provide high quality and practical education at a low cost to Native students and is designed to encourage them to continue their education pathways.
