Teaching Blockchain in K9-12: instruction materials and their assessment
- This paper analyses the feasibility of including emerging IT-topics into secondary education (K9-12). We developed a class on Blockchain for K9-12 students which delivers relevant content but is also indented to motivate them to further engage with the topic. Our course consists of theory material as well as a hands-on application. Gamification techniques are utilised to encourage students and improve the learning experience. The assessment, consisting of 166 students, shows a significant knowledge gain of students exposed to our materials especially when the theory and the hands-on materials are combined. Both, i.e., teaching material and chat application, are freely available.
