Abstract
The aim of the research is to identify the effectiveness of a training program based on the Daniel Model in developing cognitive and performance skills related to cybersecurity among high school students. The research employed the experimental method using a one-group experimental design. The researcher developed an educational environment based on the Daniel Model to enhance cognitive and performance skills in cybersecurity. This program was applied to a sample of 40 third-year high school students in Al-Qunfudhah, Makkah Province.
The results of the research revealed statistically significant differences at the 0.05 level between the mean scores of the experimental group's students in the pre- and post-application of the cognitive skills assessment for cybersecurity, in favor of the post-application. Additionally, there were statistically significant differences at the 0.05 level between the mean scores of the experimental group's students in the pre- and post-application of the performance skills assessment in favor of the post-application.
The research also recommended providing in-service training programs for science teachers, aimed at introducing them to the importance of the Daniel Model and training them on its practical application in lesson planning. These programs should include diverse activities and train teachers on how to implement them based on the nature of the lessons and the types of skills they aim to impart to students.
