Abstract:
This paper presents an in-depth examination of the
development and implementation of an innovative platform for
teacher professional development, incorporating features of
blockchain technology. The platform manifests a revolutionary
step in enhancing teacher training, creating a secure,
transparent, and decentralized approach for maintaining
continuous professional development records. Using blockchain's
inherent properties, the platform ensures immutable recordkeeping and instills credibility in teachers' career progression,
empowering educators through direct ownership of their
professional development milestones. Additionally, the platform
fosters a culture of lifelong learning, encouraging educators to
actively engage in their professional growth, while providing
reliable evidence of their achievements. Alongside highlighting
the design aspects of the platform, the paper delves into potential
challenges and solutions associated with the incorporation of
blockchain technology into educational contexts. Through this
innovative intersection of technology and education, the platform
showcases the potential of blockchain in reshaping and enriching
professional development strategies for teachers, thereby
elevating educational standards and practices across the board.
