  • Abstract
    In educational psychology, conceptual change is a process that revises a student´s understanding of a topic in response to new information. Conceptual change pedagogy is particularly effective for security awareness education because instructors must deliver concepts to people who primarily just use computer networks and information systems rather than display expertise in the underlying technology.
