The treatment of academic information and use of tools and programs for instruction, communication, and learning have revealed the handling of a significant volume of personal data from different sources. It is essential to protect this information from possible privacy violations. This descriptive study, which is of transversal nonexperimental design, focuses on how 384 pre-service teachers’ enrolled in educational technology courses in their education programs view the protection of personal data. The goals are to describe and analyze how these teachers perceive the risks associated with protection of data on the Internet and what they know about protection of data in primary education. We administered a questionnaire within the framework of an educational activity that focused on digital competence in data protection in education. The results show a high perception of risk in topics such as accepting cookies when surfing the Internet or transferring banking information. The knowledge the students claim to have shown a lack of information on the protection of minors’ data in issues related to the development and schooling of primary school students, as well as their health, background, and family environment. Curricular treatment of these areas that includes content, practices on regulations, and adopts a situated, critical, and responsible approach in pre-service teacher education is recommended.\u003Cbr>Keywords: data protection, pre-service teacher education, pre-service teachers, primary education, privacy |\n| --- | --- |\n| INTRODUCTION |  |\n\nThe digital society is a hyperconnected space thanks to constant use of social media, the Internet, and information and communication technologies. Such permanent connection involves new and varied challenges for data protection and requires users increasingly to attend to information security risks, as personal data can be exposed in ways beyond their control (Cobo, 2019; Orellana, 2017; Piñar, 2020) . This situation, together with the risk of massive treatment of personal data, generates great concern among the Internet users (Marín et al., 2021) . Due to its repercussions for various areas of social life, protection of personal data and privacy is a topic of current importance not only in law but also in education and other areas of social life, such as economics, medicine, and technology.  \nConcern for protection of data and privacy in the education sector mirrors concern observed in various other sectors of society (Jones et al., 2020; Markos et al., 2017; Schomakers et al., 2019) . Because this topic is currently of social interest, our study aims to provide a general overview of what pre-service teachers know about the protection of data and privacy in education. It reports their perceptions as users of the risk involved in some of their common practices on the Internet in which personal data are collected, treated, or transferred  \nto third parties, or privacy is violated. The study also contributes to understanding why those who must ","cbCaipjSleKnohVo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipjSleKnohVo","pdf",325144,11,"English","# Abstract\n## Introduction","[{\"question\":\"What is the main focus of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study focuses on how 384 pre-service teachers enrolled in educational technology courses perceive the protection of personal data in primary education and the risks related to it on the Internet.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the data collected?\",\"answer\":\"A questionnaire was administered within the framework of an educational activity centered on digital competence in data protection in education.\"},{\"question\":\"What risks and knowledge gaps were identified?\",\"answer\":\"Results show a high perception of risk in topics such as accepting cookies and transferring banking information.
