Stochastic analysis and cryptography as key pillars for micro-credentials skills for Bitcoin’s Basic Knowledge

The subject of this article is the development, study, and application of instructional models for the optimal design and control of an organized Bitcoin-related curriculum. The pedagogical observations of the analysis of this article are integrated into an active analytical teaching and learning perspective that combines the multiple knowledge bases of cryptocurrencies and includes elements of stochastic analysis and cryptography linked to micro-credentials. The present proposal as an applied teaching model is part of the perspective of the CHAISE course, which comprises learning modules. The CHAISE Blockchain teaching scenario accommodates the skills and knowledge needed for professional profiles, Blockchain Developers, Blockchain Architects, and Blockchain Managers. In addition to educational models for the optimal design and control of organized Bitcoin-related curricula, strategic visions for the potential and sustainability of monetary diversity are developed, studied, and implemented with emphasis on the technical part of the teaching plan and schedule. In this paper, we describe the methodological motivation of the curriculum for teaching the underlying Bitcoin technologies. The paper is interdisciplinary and education-oriented, and it addresses the institutional framework for blockchain establishment and inclusion in education structures.
