Poster #256 - Workforce Development: Teaching Criminal Justice Majors Technical Content Effectively - CANCELLED

• In Event: ASC Poster Session I

Abstract

There is a demand for technological knowledge in criminal justice. This study offers a systematic literature review of pedagogical practices to instruct non-STEM majors on STEM to address cybercrime. It also utilizes pre- and post-tests and human-centric measures to assess the effectiveness of various instructional approaches. The research questions are: What teaching methods make cybersecurity concepts more accessible and engaging for non-STEM majors? And, how do simulations, case studies, ranges, interdisciplinary collaborations, explanatory videos, fine arts, and study drills compare in pedagogical effectiveness for this group? The findings have implications for producing competitive criminal justice graduates for the future workforce.
