Abstract
This research investigates blockchain technology, focusing on the influence of motivation on collaborative work, which positively influences learning performance in Higher Education Institutions (HEI). In addition, blockchain technology is correlated with decentralisation, security and integrity, and anonymity and encryption. It can also be perceived as a consensus mechanism, rewarding students, professors, and universities as a smart contract. Therefore, this technology has been used to improve higher education. It also allows less informed people to interact with better-informed peers and mentors. Finally, this study aims to enhance the current state of blockchain applications comprehension. The methodology used for this research includes document analysis, literature review, content analysis (blockchain platforms), the case study method, and the survey method. In statistical considerations, aiming to evaluate indicators, this research presents the Composite Reliability Analysis, Cronbach Alpha Coefficients, and the Bootstrapping method (Variance Inflation Factor). All these analyses aimed to present a designed research model. This exploratory research gathered data from 150 students at 3 universities in Serbia, Romania, and Portugal. As demonstrated, using student motivation has a significant and positive impact on the quality of student collaborative work. Student collaborative work also correlates with students’ higher level of engagement in the educational process, and the more engaged students are, the better their learning outcomes will be. As a result, in higher education, student involvement boosted learning outcomes. Researchers found that motivation, teamwork, and student involvement were important factors in improving student learning outcomes, as were blockchain-based tools. The results from the quantitative analysis indicate that Collaborative work, Motivation, Engagement, MOOCs, AR, VR, Gamification, and Online class were associated with learning performance.

The concept of “planetary well-being” is a guiding aspiration that establishes an ideal regulation of both humanity and the planet, including an integrated system of sustainability of natural and social aspects [1]
To be equitable, inclusive, and nudge personal development, even though life-long learning approaches, including digital, transversal, and practical skills, i.e., critical thinking, communication, collaboration, information literacy, analytical skills, metacognitive and reflection skills, and other research skills, as a condition to adapt to the continuous challenges of green market context [2]; developing digital and transversal competences, investing in people to facilitate their employability, creative work, and resilience required by professions; developing innovative curricula, new methods, and technologies in teaching and evaluation, such as MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), virtual reality (VR) (Virtual reality)/AR
Our research shows that the higher the student motivation, raised mainly by new technology and teaching methodologies, the higher the student collaborative work
Summary
The concept of “planetary well-being” is a guiding aspiration that establishes an ideal regulation of both humanity and the planet, including an integrated system of sustainability of natural and social aspects [1]. Sustainability 2021, 13, 12347 pillars as the first is already part of the education system and the latter will enter the system more or less at the same time when blockchain technology will become a part of the education system: . To be equitable, inclusive, and nudge personal development, even though life-long learning approaches, including digital, transversal, and practical skills, i.e., critical thinking, communication, collaboration, information literacy, analytical skills, metacognitive and reflection skills, and other research skills, as a condition to adapt to the continuous challenges of green market context [2]; developing digital and transversal competences, investing in people to facilitate their employability, creative work, and resilience required by professions; developing innovative curricula, new methods, and technologies in teaching and evaluation, such as MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), VR (Virtual reality)/AR (augmented reality), blockchain, videoconferences, etc. Education (HE) has increased, and new technologies have been seen as an asset to learning.
