Using a case study approach, data were collected through a semi-structured interview form developed with expert input. The focus was on the effects of integrating cryptologic methods within the Information Technologies and Software course. The study involved approximately 105 middle school students. Data analysis revealed that students generally viewed cryptologic methods positively, highlighting benefits such as enhanced long-term and rapid learning, improved problem-solving skills, and increased interest and motivation through diverse teaching techniques. However, some students reported difficulties in learning cryptologic methods and a lack of interest. The findings suggest that engaging, sustainable, and rapid learning captures students' attention and enhances their focus. Integrating cryptologic methods into the curriculum holds significant potential for developing 21stcentury skills, including critical thinking, research, and problem-solving abilities, enabling students to connect clues and formulate solutions. The further integration of cryptologic methods promises to foster enjoyable and enduring cognitive gains in students' learning activities.  \nKeywords: Cryptology, Information Technologies, 21st century skills, Digital Game-Based Learning, DOI: 10.29329/epasr.2024.1046.4  \nSubmitted: 16 August 2023 Accepted: 02 February 2024 Published: 30 June 2024  \n1 This article is derived from a master's thesis conducted by the first author under the guidance of the second author.  \n2 Expert, Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, School of Graduate Studies, Computer and Instructional Technologies Education, Çanakkale, Turkey, ORCID: 0000-0002-3201-8905  \nCorrespondence: [sercanozer85@gmail.com](sercanozer85@gmail.com)  \n3 Assoc.

This process has encouraged the emergence of new applications based on old knowledge and technologies. In light of these technological advancements, the science of cryptology, which dates back to ancient times and is based on the foundations of mathematics, has regained importance (Arora et al., 2015; Massey, 1988) . Cryptology has established a foundation for meeting societies' needs to protect information and deencrypt texts for desired purposes (Çeşmeci, 2009). The evolution of cryptology has been shaped particularly by the need for private communication in diplomatic and military fields (Buluş, 2006), gradually contributing to the resolution of such needs for societies and individuals.  \nAfter understanding the historical and theoretical background of cryptology, it is essential to focus on its applications in education and the benefits it offers to students. There are numerous advantages to using cryptology methods in educational settings (Rocca, 2005) . Especially in today's rapidly advancing digital transformation, skills related to securely storing, using, and transmitting information can be enhanced through cryptology-based education. These trainings help students develop 21st-century skills such as problem-solving, computational thinking, and critical thinking (Patterson, 2020) . Integrating cryptology into mathematics and information technology courses makes the content more effective, allowing students to gain deeper knowledge in these areas (Sim","cbCailuYTXE0ZHOf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailuYTXE0ZHOf","pdf",291398,15,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Historical and theoretical background of cryptology\n## Educational benefits and 21st-century skills\n## Digital games and motivation in learning","[{\"question\":\"What is the study’s main purpose?\",\"answer\":\"To gather middle school students’ opinions about using cryptologic methods in education, especially when integrated into the Information Technologies and Software course.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the data collected?\",\"answer\":\"Using a case study approach with semi-structured interviews developed with expert input, involving about 105 middle school students.\"},{\"question\":\"What learning benefits did students report most often?\",\"answer\":\"Students generally viewed cryptologic methods positively, highlighting enhanced long-term and rapid learning, improved problem-solving skills, and increased interest and motivation through diverse teaching techniques.\"}]","Students' Views on the Use of Cryptology Methods in Education | PDF",1792095844,38]
