The article examines the risks associated with digital educational platforms, which are defined as potential threats and negative consequences that may arise in the learning process of schoolchildren, including phishing as a type of cyber fraud aimed at obtaining confidential information (logins, passwords, bank card data) fraudulently using educational digital platforms. The aim of the study is to analyze the awareness of schoolchildren about online fraud – phishing on educational digital platforms. Phishing remains one of the most common threats to information security, as it relies not on technical vulnerabilities, but on the human factor. The study employed survey methods and mathematical analysis, which were applied to the responses of 751 schoolchildren from 9 schools in Astrakhan. As a result of the research, some data was obtained indicating a low level of awareness about phishing, as well as a lack of knowledge among students about protecting their personal data through two-factor authentication, which confirms the urgent need for the development of pedagogical tools to educate schoolchildren about information security. The article proposes a set of practice-oriented pedagogical tools aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of schoolchildren’s information security while using educational digital platforms.
Key words: practice-oriented education; digital educational platforms; schoolchildren; phishing; information security
