This study describes the development of an anti-crimeware courseware for schoolchildren in Taiwan and examines its pedagogical effectiveness. The instructional design adopted the ADDIE model and integrated the fear appeals approach. A 2-by-2 factorial experimental design was used to test the four possible combinations of two levels (high and low) and two factors (perceived-susceptibility and severity) of fear appeals. The participants in this study included 130 sixth graders. Using immediate and delayed individual tests, this study examined their anti-crimeware attitudes, cognitive concepts, and problem solving skills. The results indicated that the High-Susceptibility/High-Severity (H-Su/H-Se) group outperformed the other three groups. Further explanations and interpretations of the results are provided, and suggestions for future research are proposed. |
