ABSTRACT

Tertiary general education innovation in Korea has achieved the current level of innovation, following the trajectory of reform and innovation level of the university academic structure. In particular, it has been reporting great achievements in general education innovation, as a part of government-supported university education innovation projects such as ACE, PRIME, and LINC+. However, tertiary general education needs to be further improved to be competitive, considering that our society is rapidly changing with the rapid development of technology. Therefore, the current study designed and validated the‘tertiary general education model operated by public permissioned blockchain-based smart contract' that can overcome the limitations of existing tertiary general education innovation by using the design & development research methodology. Specifically, first i) public permissioned blockchain-based general education system based on blockchain technology and literature analysis was designed. Next, technical review by technical experts was carried out, followed by validity through field review by university stakeholders. Through validation processes, technical feasibility of the model and opinions of university stakeholders were confirmed. Based on these, policy supplements for the model and specific implementation plans were proposed. This study has significant implications in that it provided guidelines that many universities in Korea are considering in tertiary general education innovation as well as tertiary education innovation.
