Abstract

This paper aims to describe a change in teaching practice of information security in college by presenting metacognitive aspects. From a constructivist view, students have to find a way for themselves and teachers have to serve as guidance in that teaching-learning process. Here we show some strategies in a framework to achieve in the field of cybersecurity based on our experience.
