Summary
This study introduces skillsChain, a blockchain-based decentralized application for educational robotics. It securely tracks student skill development for transferability and enables safe data exchange with third parties.
Area of Science:
- Educational Technology
- Computer Science
- Blockchain Applications
Background:
- The Fourth Industrial Revolution drives rapid technological advancements across scientific domains.
- New fields are emerging for advanced student training and secure data exchange.
- Ensuring data integrity is crucial in technologically evolving academic environments.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce skillsChain, a decentralized application (dApp) using blockchain for educational robotics.
- To securely track student skill development for transferability beyond academia.
- To enable students to safely exchange their skills' records with third parties.
Main Methods:
- Designed and deployed a decentralized application (dApp) named skillsChain.
- Utilized blockchain technology within an educational robotics framework.
- Implemented a state-of-the-art architecture for direct transaction execution on a public ledger.
Main Results:
- The skillsChain application was successfully deployed on a public distributed ledger.
- The system demonstrated efficacy in securely tracking and transferring student skills.
- Educational robotics transactions can be executed directly on a public ledger under specific conditions.
Conclusions:
- Blockchain technology offers a secure and effective solution for managing educational data.
- SkillsChain facilitates the secure and verifiable transfer of skills acquired through educational robotics.
- The proposed architecture supports autonomous skill record management without direct educator intervention.

Brick-cutting techniques involve various tools and methods to shape bricks for construction. A mason's hammer with a chisel-pointed end is used for basic shaping through sharp, precise strikes. For more complex shapes requiring higher precision, a power saw with a water-cooled diamond blade is used.
Cut bricks are categorized by size. Bricks cut to half their original length are called half-bats, while those cut to three-fourths their length are known as three-fourth bats.

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

Mechanical systems are analogous to to electrical networks where springs and masses play similar roles to inductors and capacitors, respectively. A viscous damper in mechanical systems functions similarly to a resistor in electrical networks, dissipating energy. The forces acting on a mass in such systems include an applied force in the direction of motion, counteracted by forces from the spring, a viscous damper, and the mass's acceleration. This interplay of forces is mathematically...
