IT Education Curriculum in Hungary and Serbia

Abstract

IT has an important role in education, as acquiring user-level IT knowledge is becoming more important nowadays. Several studies deal with the IT education curriculum of Hungary and Serbia. As more and more users are using various smart devices these days, it is becoming more important that they have the right knowledge in this area and that they can use it with the right amount of care to protect their personal data. It is expected that more smart devices will be present in the future and smart device users generally do not know how to use their smart devices safely, many users do not even have basic knowledge. Therefore, it is important for users to be aware of the dangers of using smart devices. This study examines whether information security awareness can be found in the IT education curriculum of Hungary and Serbia, and whether there is a difference between the IT curriculum and password usage habits in the two countries.
