Abstract

Nowadays, the use of Internet is becoming more important in teaching and learning at school. A preliminary study shows that even though Internet has many benefits, it also exposes users to danger, especially concerning online communication. The objective of this research is to develop an Internet safety guideline in order to curb cybercrime, especially for students in primary schools. Expert evaluation has been used in this study. It has been chosen because of its ability to identify more problems. An interview with six experts was conducted in validating the guideline. Several comments were obtained. The findings have showed that the experts’ comments are helpful in improving the guideline and the result of the Content Validity Index is acceptable. Hence, it is hoped that the Internet safety guideline developed can benefits or provide awareness for primary school students and teachers in the process of giving or getting any information through the Internet. Therefore, this study provides primary school students with a guideline in accessing the Internet safely. This is important for them in expanding their knowledge and thus, be successful in their study.
