PRACTICE-ORIENTED CASES THAT TEACH WORKING WITH BIG DATA AND CYBERSECURITY CULTURE

There is a paradoxical situation in the modern digital economy: despite the growing demand for specialists in the field of big data and cybersecurity, traditional educational approaches are not effective enough to train competent personnel. The relevance of the research is due to the need to bridge the gap between students' theoretical training and the practical requirements of the industry, where big data skills and cybersecurity culture are becoming interrelated competencies. The purpose of this research is to develop and theoretically substantiate a system of practice-oriented cases aimed at simultaneously developing competencies for working with big data and a cybersecurity culture. As a result of the research, four author's cases have been developed and described, adapted for use in the pedagogical practice of higher educational institutions. The discussion of the results of the implementation of the developed cases allows us to identify several significant patterns. Firstly, an integrated approach to learning how to work with big data and cybersecurity culture contributes to a more holistic understanding of modern IT systems in which these aspects are inextricably linked. Secondly, the practice-oriented nature of the cases, their proximity to real professional situations, increases students' motivation and promotes deeper learning of the material. An important aspect is also the gradual complication of cases, which allows students to consistently build up competencies, moving from solving relatively simple tasks to complex complex problems. The proposed approach contributes not only to the acquisition of technical knowledge, but also to the development of analytical thinking, an understanding of the ethical aspects of working with data, and the formation of sustainable behavioral patterns in the field of cybersecurity.
