Transformation of blockchain and opportunities for education 4.0

Abstract

There are many ways in which education 4.0 can continue to develop rapidly and coexist with the development of increasingly advanced technology to bond with each other to be balanced, one of which is using blockchain technology that is integrated in the education sector for various purposes. The main direction in developing global integration in education includes the creating a single educational space and optimization of the interaction between education and stakeholder relationships. The blockchain method implemented in education 4.0 was not widely used because initially, blockchain was only known for the financial sector. Blockchain is comprehensive and appropriate for this era, as blockchain offers technology, trust, and transparency by replacing the previous system with a new system. A particular problem is a need for innovative research to provide new insights into blockchain transformation inf education and application opportunities that can be accepted and used optimally. Researchers used the vast mind method and literature study. The goal is to inform the added value of blockchain that is applied in education as needed, the renewal of research and opportunities for implementing blockchain in education 4.0. The blockchain technology that can be used in education, for example, is archiving, learning, certification and other.

Blockchain Education Concept 4.0: Student-Centered iLearning Blockchain Framework

“…The 3 (three) research novelties include the Improvement of 3 (three) main elements in ilearning activities, namely courses, portfolios, and assignments that are carried out digitally (Rahardja, Aini, Ariessanti, et al, 2018). Blockchain gamified asset management flow, which is a framework between students, educators, and universities, is made more efficient with a guaranteed security level (Lutfiani et al, 2021). Due to the limited resources and funding, the Student-Centered iLearning framework was tested based on simulation results, which allowed further development to be implemented in real life (Aini, Yusup, Santoso, et al, 2021).…”

Blockchain Hyperledger with Non-Linear Machine Learning: A Novel and Secure Educational Accreditation Registration and Distributed Ledger Preservation Architecture

“…This scenario uplifts the educational turnaround, which directly impacts the economy and a skilled workforce with social mobility to promote and achieve the well-being of educationalists around the world [1]. Issuance of certificate credential accreditation by the HED and universities significantly impacts academic record attestation and verification, which is very essential for further higher studies and international educational processing applications [2]. The primary stakeholders involved in the process are candidates (students), universities, private recruitment organizations, government job providers and agencies, and semi-governmental departments.…”

Challenges of Using Blockchain in the Education Sector: A Literature Review

“…The lack of human resources and skilled professionals is recognized as a major barrier in organizations that are increasingly opposed to blockchain technology [68][69][70][71][72][73][74]. For example, in the education sector, several educational institutions are still wary about adopting blockchain technology because there is a lack of knowledge and skills needed to manage student data in a blockchain network.…”

“…The commitment of educational stakeholders to collaboration is the first requirement for integrating the blockchain in the education sector [73]. For a variety of reasons, the open exchange of information is not something that stimulates all organizations since information can be private or can be considered a competitive advantage [73].…”

“…The commitment of educational stakeholders to collaboration is the first requirement for integrating the blockchain in the education sector [73]. For a variety of reasons, the open exchange of information is not something that stimulates all organizations since information can be private or can be considered a competitive advantage [73]. Therefore, the educational stakeholders should be dedicated to the open exchange of information, as the blockchain essentially facilitates information transparency.…”
