In this paper, we present a novel approach to design teaching interventions for computing education, elaborated using an example of cybersecurity education. Cybersecurity education, similar to other computing education domains, often focuses on one aspect and separate themselves from the other approach. In other words, they focus on one of the two different aspects: a) either teaching how to use and to behave, or b) how technology works. Here we suggest another point of focal awareness for teaching – interaction – that allows the recombination of both approaches in a novel way, leading to a reconstruction of the teaching and learning content in a way that – as we hope – supports an understanding on a higher level and thus gives the chance to better develop agency. For this didactic reconstruction of teaching content, we use an approach called the hybrid interaction system framework. In cybersecurity training, teaching interventions oftentimes are in a way successful but seem to not lead to long-lasting changes towards secure behavior. Using simply password security as an example, we show how this new approach recombines the two different priory mentioned teaching approaches in a novel way. Within this short paper, we present our current research progress, discuss potentials and values of the approach in general, and by way of example. Our intention of this submission and early disclosure is to spark discussion and generate further insights especially regarding the following question: What implications does the hybrid interaction system approach have on learning scenarios?

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential for far-reaching – in our opinion – irreversible changes. They range from effects on the individual and society to new societal and social issues. The question arises as to how students can learn the basic functioning of AI systems, what areas of life and society are affected by these and – most important – how their own lives are affected by these changes. Therefore, we are developing and evaluating school materials for the German ”Science Year AI”. It can be used for students of all school types from the seventh grade upwards and will be distributed to about 2000 schools in autumn with the support of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The material deals with the following aspects of AI: Discussing everyday experiences with AI, how does machine learning work, historical development of AI concepts, difference between man and machine, future distribution of roles between man and machine, in which AI world do we want to live and how much AI would we like to have in our lives. Through an accompanying evaluation, high quality of the technical content and didactic preparation is achieved in order to guarantee the long-term applicability in the teaching context in the different age groups and school types. In this paper, we describe the current state of the material development, the challenges arising, and the results of tests with different classes to date. We also present first ideas for evaluating the results.
