Experiment of the algorithm of information risk prevention among students

Information security turns out to be a person’s essential requirement for a confident orientation in information content. The need to master ways of information risk resistance on the base of one’s own value attitudes is a factor for the person development and successful socialization.The aim of the article is to present a step–by-step realization of textual activity for students of a non-linguistic university to master ways of information risk resistance.The research is based on the analysis of literature on the development of theory and educational practice on information security, and the textual activity realization based on the methods of pedagogical hermeneutics. The meaning-forming texts selected according to the teaching content in the discipline are used as the material. The methods for realization of the set of tasks based on text activities aimed at the students’ personal resource development are presented. The methodical experiment used for leaning ways of information risk resistance was carried out.The examples of the exercises organizing the step-by-step students’ work with texts based on the algorithm of information risk prevention oriented at personal resource development are given. The described algorithm including hermeneutical and activity methods is based on four interrelated stages (motivational, analytical-evaluative, design, reflexive) to implement the mechanisms of meaning formation and interpretation. Given methods are considered at the humanity disciplines using the meaning-forming texts related to the social context. The features of the textual activity organization of the proposed algorithm are revealed. The article introduces the criteria of the text selection. Three assessment criteria were developed to diagnose the level of personal information security formation. Based on the results of algorithm testing, a pilot study was conducted on the topic discussed during the lesson. It was found that the further development of students’ abilities to withstand risks and be resistant to their impact is required. The designed algorithm was tested on the base of the Tyumen Industrial University.The implementation of the textual activity aimed to master ways of information risk resistance contributes to the development of students’ ability to perceive meaningfully, interpret and evaluate information by the actualization of the gained experience. The leaning of these methods can be carried out not only during the lesson, but also during extracurricular time. The effectiveness of the implemented algorithm is due to hermeneutic and activity approaches using meaning-forming texts.
