Evaluating the Impact of Blockchain Technology in Educational Data Management

Abstract

Blockchain technology, with its inherent features of decentralization, transparency, and security, offers significant potential for improving the management of educational data. This article evaluates the impact of blockchain technology on educational data management by analyzing its positive effects, challenges, and limitations. The findings suggest that blockchain can enhance data security and integrity, reduce the risk of fraud, and improve transparency in data management processes. However, challenges such as scalability, high implementation costs, and organizational resistance remain significant barriers. The study also compares traditional methods of educational data management with blockchain-based systems, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each. The results underscore the importance of further research to address the technical and organizational challenges of blockchain adoption in educational settings. Practical implications include recommendations for institutions to leverage blockchain technology to enhance data security and streamline administrative processes.
