Abstract

This research aims to identify vocational college students’ information security awareness levels in terms of several variables. Having a survey model design, this study holds a total of 1621 students studying at Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University, Göksun Vocational College. The research sample consists of 240 students selected by the simple random sampling method. Research data have been collected through Information Security Awareness Scale (ISAS) developed by Güldüren, Çetinkaya and Keser (2016). The internal consistency coefficient Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient has been found to be 0.95 for the overall scale (Güldüren, Çetinkaya and Keser, 2016). The total scale’s Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient has been re-calculated and determined to be 0.91. The data have been analyzed via frequency values, independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Bonferonni post-hoc test. Research results have revealed that students possess medium level of information security awareness.
