Proposal for Direction of Blockchain Education on Gamification

Abstract

In this study, we will combine the concept and principles of gamification with blockchain education based on the essence of the blockchain. The new technology that applies the elements of the game to other domains is 'gamification', and this study is the first attempt that applies to the concept of gamification on the blockchain education . The main concepts of the blockchain (the decentralization, the consensus and profit distribution among the participants) are in line with the core principles of the Player Experience (PX) in gamification. In this paper, we analyze curriculum of domestic and foreign blockchain courses of Institutions : MIT, UC Berkely, UCLA, Korea University, Sogang University, and Dongguk University etc. We have proposed effective and desirable blockchain education program by applying the principle and concept of gamification to the current block education course focused on technical education. Based on this research, it is hoped that the research on blockchain gamification, which is a fusion of game elements in the blockchain field, will be actively carried out, which will help improve the global competitiveness of the domestic game industry. This study aims to contribute to the promotion of full-scale industrialization in the field of gamification, as well as an academic research to establish the convergence of blockchain and gamification in the desirable direction.
