Blockchain technology is one such technology which has become a widely discussed topic when it comes to finance in the digital era. The objectives of this study are to identify the factors that affect Blockchain adoption as well to identify the possible applications of it in the Sri Lanka banking sector. The study applied qualitative research approach. An interview guide was created and banking professionals were interviewed in order to understand their take or perception on Block Chain implementation in the Sri Lanka Banking sector. This study discovered that the application of Blockchain technology for shared KYC, trade finance, and Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) was possible. When deploying Blockchain technology, interoperability problems, regulatory limits, and lack of knowledge were the main obstacles. Additionally, the presence of Fin Tech companies, the regulator's attitude, the cooperation of banks, customers' perceptions, and the banking system's capability functioned as catalysts to enable such an adoption. The results and suggestions of this study would benefit bankers, educators, and practitioners in their efforts to examine the factors that affect the adoption of Blockchain technology. It will also help them to develop workable solutions for their problems. This will also help authorities like the Central Bank in order to create a proper framework for the implementation of block chain technology in the Sri Lanka banking sector. The study will contribute to extend the existing literature on Blockchain adoption and that it will help to create the much-needed framework in order to successfully implement Blockchain technology in banking system while set precedence for future research on this area.","PeriodicalId":190996,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Advanced Research and Reports","volume":"29 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113993136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quantitative descriptive correlational design was employed. The study was conducted through online survey in a public school of Division of Davao del Sur during the school year 2021-2022. The TLE public junior high school teachers who are the respondents were chosen using purposive sampling. Data utilized in this study were gathered through adopted questionnaires. Mean, Pearson product-moment correlation and path analysis were among the statistical tools used. Results revealed that TLE teachers had a very high level of perceived organizational support, a very high level of pedagogical content knowledge, and a high level of program resources. Moreover, there is a significant relationship among perceived organization support of TLE teachers and their pedagogical content knowledge, perceived organization support and program resources, and program resources and pedagogical content knowledge. It was also revealed that the program resources partially mediated the relationship between perceived organizational support and pedagogical content knowledge. With considerations on the findings of the study, the perceived organization support of TLE teachers was evident at all times. Second, the pedagogical content knowledge as perceived by TLE teachers was important all the time. Lastly, the program resources were evident most of the time. It was recommended that the school administrators should support the improvement of program resources in schools.","PeriodicalId":190996,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Advanced Research and Reports","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126748893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
