Abstract:
The incorporation of Education4.0 has brought about
a significant transformation in the realm of higher
education, resulting in the establishment of a
dynamic and inventive educational setting for
students. In this context, various sophisticated
technologies, including Blockchain Technology,
artificial intelligence (AI), and others, are being
employed to augment Education management.
Hence, the present study has directed its attention
towards the integration of Education4.0 and the
utilisation of Blockchain Technology to enhance
Education management in the realm of higher
Education in Saudi Arabia. In this particular case study, the primary source of qualitative data was
obtained through interviews conducted with a sample of 10 employees employed at various
universities in Saudi Arabia. A thematic analysis was conducted on the gathered transcripts, resulting
in the formulation of five significant themes. These themes encompass (a) Education4.0 within the
context of higher education, (b) the role of technologies in higher education, (c) the opportunities
presented by the integration of Education4.0 and Blockchain Technology, (d) the Challenges associated
with the fusion of Education4.0 and Blockchain Technology, and (e) the utilisation of other
technologies in the management of higher education. Therefore, this study has demonstrated that the
integration of Education4.0 and Blockchain Technology has proven to be efficacious in establishing a
dynamic and individualised educational encounter for students in higher education. Furthermore,
these technologies have demonstrated efficacy in the management of students' data and the mitigation
of fraudulent transcripts within the realm of higher education. However, there are a number of
difficulties involved in implementing these technologies, including worries about data privacy and a
lack of technical staff, among others. The current study has additionally yielded various practical and
theoretical implications pertaining to the integration of Education4.0 and Blockchain Technology
within the higher Education sector.
