dc.description.abstractInformation technologies have become an integral element of everyday life. Even slight vulner- ability in the safe use of information technologies may expose individuals, institutions, and even communities to difficult situations. Therefore, the issue of safe Internet use, also referred to as information security, is considered important and it is thought that efforts should be initiated to raise awareness among all members of the society starting from the first stage of the basic educa- tion. In this context, for enlightenment of students about information security, teachers assume an important role. Therefore, the levels of information security awareness of pre-service teachers, who will be the teachers of the future, are important. This study has two main aims. These are (A) to develop a valid and reliable scale for information security awareness based on knowledge–attit ude–behavior model and (B) examine the information security awareness of pre-service teachers in terms of various variables. The study was carried out with 350 pre-service teachers majoring in a variety of disciplines. As a result, a scale consisting of 71 items with 4 factors was obtained. It was found that there were positive correlations between the components of knowledge, attitude, and behavior that constitute the knowledge–attitude–behavior model adopted in the development of the scale. It was noted that the awareness levels of both female and male pre-service teachers were medium. It was revealed that male’s awareness scores were significantly higher than females. Additionally, it was found that the awareness of pre-service IT teachers was higher than others.en_US
