Gamification Design as Learning Media to Motivate Students to Increase Cyber Security Awareness towards Phishing

Phishing attacks continue to grow every year, based on data from the cyber security company Kaspersky, it is found that phishing attacks have targeted the academic sector and the 2021 BSSN cyber security monitoring report shows that the academic sector occupies the second position for the most phishing distribution in Indonesia. The results of a survey conducted by APJII in 2022 also show that the 13-18 year old age group is the most active group of internet users in exploring cyberspace. In this regard, efforts are needed to foster the importance of cybersecurity awareness to students which can be done by creating a learning media. This research designs a gamification design as a learning media to motivate students to increase cyber security awareness of phishing attacks. This gamification design uses Classcraft platform with MDA framework. Evaluation is conducted at two levels, namely impact evaluation and motivation evaluation. Based on the evaluation results obtained, the level of understanding of students regarding cyber security awareness of phishing using gamificationbased learning media is higher than that of students using conventional learning media. In addition, students who use gamification-based learning media are also more motivated in cyber security awareness of phishing compared to the motivation of students who use conventional learning media.
