Abstract

Information and communication technologies (ICT) provide many benefits to the individual and social life whereas they can also bring about some unwanted problems as a result of their unsafe use. Educators and the education system itself have responsibilities for the students' safe use of ICT. For this purpose, in the revised version of the curriculum of Information Technology and Software (IT&S) course, the Ministry of National Education proposed that topics on safe use of ICT should be included in the curriculum based on the needs of the students. However, there is a gap in the literature with regard to the needs of the students. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to examine the behaviour of the first year undergraduate students concerning the information security. First year students as they took a compulsory Information Technology and Software course at the Ministry of National Education schools. The study was conducted on 124 first year students. Data were analyzed using the qualitative and quantitative methods. Drawing on the findings we suggested some emerged topics which could be included in the IT&S curriculum based on the students' needs.
