Abstract:

The relevance of the study of the problem of combating existing threats and risks on the Internet from a pedagogical point of view is due to a number of factors. First of all, the Internet occupies an important place in the life of modern society, since it allows members of society to directly interact with the information field, which largely determines the success of a person. Another reason for the need for a careful attitude of pedagogical sciences to the interaction of the individual and the Internet is that this interaction is accompanied by all sorts of risks and threats, the identification, study and overcoming of which becomes the object of pedagogical research. Another reason why pedagogy should pay close attention to the activity of a person on the Internet is that during the interaction of a person with an information field, the latter affects the personality sphere, interacts with personality meanings and is able to make changes in the personality sphere. Such changes can be either episodic or global in nature, be deep or superficial, but, in any case, these will be changes that need attention. Given the dynamics of the increase in the number of children and youth who spend a significant amount of their life on the Internet for various purposes, and sharing the point of view of many scientists who consider the Internet as one of the main factors in the socialization of modern youth, we consider it important to conduct a detailed study of the impact of Internet threats per person, especially young people, and the search for ways to organize informed pedagogical support and support the interaction of a modern young man and the information field, one of the manifestations of which is the Internet.
Some types of pedagogical support of university students facing risks and threats when working in the Internet were proposed: the first and main pedagogical measure is a professional and scientifically grounded orientation of those who work with young people to solve these problems, discuss the problems of creating a person’s resistance to negative forms of impact on the Internet in classes with bachelors and masters, at methodological seminars with graduate students young teachers; modernization and development of new curricula for disciplines of higher and postgraduate professional education, courses for the improvement of scientific and professional qualifications, taking into account scientific and methodological developments in the field of countering the threats and risks of working on the Internet; literally in every academic discipline related to information technologies and their use in the educational process it is necessary to focus on risks and threats when working on the Internet, on the ability to manage and cope with them, students need to be taught how to counter this and how to respond to this; the introduction of new topics on countering threats on the Internet in educational programs in terms of the regional component and elective disciplines for specialized specialties and areas of higher education, the system of postgraduate education of scientific and pedagogical personnel; updating the topics of research work of students, young scientists, teachers and graduate students in order to prevent the negative impact of certain factors of the Internet; the introduction of problematic topics into the scientific activity of students will provide them with an understanding of the problem at a completely different level.
