Abstract :
institutions (HEIs) in the Philippines. The respondents? awareness of the relevance of blockchain
use was also tested. The researcher aims to verify if blockchain is a foundational technology to be
implemented in academe. Theoretical framework was formulated based on the knowledge
procurement cycle and distributed learning ledger. The researcher proposes that conceptual
framework, centered on blockchain (Ethereum), will enhance recordkeeping in education.
Frequency, percentage, and weighted mean determined the degree of relevance of blockchain as
CA of Philippine HEIs. One-way ANOVA determined respondents? significant relationship (SR)
with regard to blockchain awareness and identified SR of blockchain as CA over other colleges in
terms of cost and differentiation. The results showed that students were most aware of the
relevance of blockchain while professors were least aware. Both null hypotheses were accepted.
There is no SR on the respondents? awareness on the use of blockchain. Respondents considered
technology relevant and a foundational technology in recordkeeping. The research proposes
EduChain Activity Flow Model to enhance recordkeeping in the academe. It will offer ample job
opportunities to students in the field of blockchain. Also, the researcher suggests that
administrators may incorporate blockchain training as part of faculty development. This research
will pave the way for future researchers to study other aspects of blockchain in education.
