Strategies to Teach Elementary School Students the Principles of Blockchain Technology by Implementing Gamification

Abstract 

Blockchain is a distributed data storage technology. Recently, hacking incidents have continued.

And blockchain is the one of the key ideas in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. In this paper, we

propose a way of incorporating games into education so that students can enjoy learning the core skills of

the blockchain. In particular, the game was organized with the aim of understanding blockchain

principles. It is also verified with students in the actual educational field to investigate learners'

satisfaction with the educational plan and confirm learner's understanding before and after training. The

effectiveness of this paper's gamification education is demonstrated by confirming learners' satisfaction

and understanding. Blockchain is a technology devised by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2007 and is a relatively

recently established technology. For elementary school students, the concept of blockchain can be

unfamiliar and complicated. These complex and challenging skills can be effectively taught to elementary

school students through game-based education. It can be seen that the educational method proposed in

this paper is an effective way to improve students' core competencies in the 21st century, such as

knowledge-information processing capability, communication capability, and community capability. With

the importance of information security emerging day by day, the blockchain is emerging as an effective

countermeasure to reduce the damage caused by information leakage. Teaching young learners the

principles of this technology can inspire adaptability for promising future. It can also be applied to

gradually reduce the damage caused by information leakage by alerting them to information security.
