This study investigates the integration of blockchain technology in vocational education in Indonesia, focusing on its impact on database system learning outcomes. The research involved 86 Indonesian students and used a quasi-experimental design to assess the effectiveness of blockchain in improving students' understanding, skills, and academic performance. The findings showed a significant improvement in learning outcomes, with a 46.50% increase in post-test scores compared to pre-test scores. The study also evaluated students' perceptions of blockchain technology in terms of usability, ease of use, and accessibility, revealing positive feedback. Students found blockchain technology easy to use and beneficial for accessing learning resources. The integration of blockchain technology in database systems learning not only enhances the quality of learning but also equips students for a successful career in information technology. The study contributes valuable insights for educational institutions, policymakers, and educators aiming to incorporate new technologies like blockchain into their learning systems. The research highlights the potential of blockchain technology to improve learning outcomes through fast and efficient access to learning materials, fostering interactive and engaging learning environments, and enhancing students' understanding of industry practices. The study also emphasizes the importance of using a mixed-methods approach to comprehensively analyze the effectiveness of blockchain technology in enhancing database system learning outcomes in vocational education. The results indicate that blockchain technology has a positive impact on student performance and perceptions, supporting its adoption in educational systems. The study's findings suggest that blockchain technology can significantly improve learning outcomes in vocational education, particularly in database systems. The integration of blockchain technology into learning systems not only enhances learning quality but also prepares students for the dynamic challenges of the information technology industry. The study's implications extend beyond individual student performance, offering opportunities to improve the effectiveness of database system learning in vocational education. The research underscores the importance of leveraging technological advancements to enhance the learning systems of vocational education in Indonesia.This study investigates the integration of blockchain technology in vocational education in Indonesia, focusing on its impact on database system learning outcomes.
