Abstract

This article is devoted to the development and theoretical substantiation of a methodology for the formation of cognitive skills in information and cyber security specialists, the implementation of which will allow improving the professional training of specialists and will contribute to increasing motivation in the educational process. The relevance of the problem of training highly qualified cybersecurity specialists is due to the rapid growth of cyber threats, which requires not only technical knowledge of a person, but also developed cognitive skills (critical thinking, the ability to make quick decisions, pattern recognition and stress resistance). By analyzing psychological and methodological literature, the essence and structure of the concept of "cognitive skills", which are critical for information and cybersecurity specialists, are detailed. Based on the problem-activity and personality-oriented approaches, a model of the formation of cognitive skills of cybersecurity specialists has been developed, the main stages of which are diagnostic, formative and control-corrective. Based on the principles of systematicity and professional orientation, a formative block has been defined, which contains a content and activity component. The content part of the methodology covers the scientific and methodological support of disciplines of the specialty F5, software for educational activities and specialized tests in psychology. The activity part of the model is provided by trainings, simulation exercises such as imitation of cyberattacks in the cyber polygon environment, game methods (attacker - security specialists) and cognitive simulators aimed at developing attention, memory, speed of information processing. Pedagogical conditions for the effective implementation of this methodology are outlined, in particular, the readiness and qualification of teachers and technical support. The results of the study can be used by higher education institutions and training centers to modernize curricula and improve the quality of training specialists in the field of information security.
