Goals
"The aim of the study was to mark down the baseline for digital safety testing - to understand students’ attitudes towards digital safety, to outline the current practices and knowledge taught by the adults (teachers and parents); and to find out who needs the most help in this matter (and what are the most urgent topics)." (Lorenz et al., 2018, p. 475).
