Comprehensive Statistical Analysis to Assess the Use of Blockchain Technology in the University Educational Process

The subject of the research is the assessment of the prospects for introducing blockchain technology in the processes of verification of academic achievements and electronic document management (digital grade books, electronic diplomas, grade registers) in the educational process of the Belarusian State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics. The purpose of the article is to empirically assess how students perceive and are prepared to use blockchain services, as well as to identify which factors statistically significantly influence their satisfaction with the educational process using factor, regression and correlation analyses. The study is based on survey data from 200 students, considered as the main group of consumers of the university’s digital services; the obtained results are interpreted taking into account the limitations of the sample and the need for subsequent extension of the research to administrative and IT personnel. Data analysis was carried out using Python language libraries. The main aspects of the use of blockchain technology, its impact on student satisfaction and the effectiveness of educational programs are considered. The use of blockchain technology in the university’s educational process has significant potential to improve learning efficiency. The analysis of factor loadings showed that the key variables influencing the perception of blockchain technology are “Data Security”, “Data Transparency” and “Trust in Technology”. Regression analysis showed that “Data Security” and “Data Transparency” have a statistically significant impact on student satisfaction with the educational process, while trust in blockchain technology demonstrates borderline significance. The analysis of the correlation matrix showed that all the variables under study – “Level of Knowledge”, “Availability and Reliability of Information”, “Trust in Technology” – have a moderate or strong positive correlation with student satisfaction. It is recommended to increase the number of hours allocated to the study of blockchain technology and to conduct regular training sessions for teachers.
