A Comprehensive Design Framework for Multi-disciplinary Cyber Security Education

Abstract

This paper presents an innovative approach to teaching soft skills in cyber security. It highlights the importance of integrating soft skills, such as critical thinking, problem solving, communication, and empathy, alongside technical skills. The COLTRANE framework is introduced as a tool for educators to enhance the teaching of soft skills. The framework involves several phases, including identifying relevant soft skills, establishing learning objectives, and designing conducive learning environments. By employing this framework, learners are exposed to real-life challenges that necessitate the integration of technical and soft skills. This approach ensures that learners not only gain technical knowledge but also develop the capacity to apply it in practical situations, fostering effective communication, collaboration, and empathy. By utilizing the COLTRANE framework, educators can better prepare their students for future careers in cyber security, where complex problem-solving and effective teamwork are essential.
