Review of Blockchain Application in Education Data Management

Abstract

The development and growth of blockchain technology today have gained widespread attention from researchers and practitioners. This popularity is due to the various positive benefits of this technology in multiple sectors such as finance, public administration, health care, education, science, culture, and the arts. Various studies have been conducted to examine the application of blockchain technology in the education sector. However, there are still many hidden things and research areas that have not been discussed. This literature review will discuss blockchain applications in the process of education management. This literature study focuses on answering three main questions: what type of application blockchain technology is used for, what kind of data is stored using blockchain, and unresolved constraints or challenges in adopting and implementing blockchain technology in education. The results of our study show that there is great potential that this technology can bring to education. We also found and discuss solutions to various challenges in certain data types and problems in implementing this technology in education management. The results of this literature study are aimed at researchers interested in carrying out research using blockchain technology in education by providing an overview of what needs to be done for further research.
