ABSTRACT
The protection of information privacy is a timely issue, as the penetration of the Internet overwhelms every aspect of individuals' lives. Internet users’ privacy knowledge is often low, potentially due to the lack of theoretically founded methods for awareness raising and education. To address this gap, we propose the design of privacy learning activities based on a widely accepted learning theory (i.e., constructivism) derived from the education science. Since there is no specific pedagogy that guides towards specific practices for the application of the constructivism learning theory, in this paper we discuss the principles of constructivism, and we develop a set of requirements towards this direction. We adopt these requirements in information privacy learning, and we present an indicative scenario about the way that each requirement can be adopted in an educational activity, in order to result in changes of individual's privacy attitudes and behaviors.
