Abstract

Data empowers educational evaluation, and blockchain technology aids in the governance of educational evaluation data. The union of big data and blockchain technology has prompted the development of educational evaluation toward digitalization and precision of educational evaluation. This paper combines the multifaceted governance utility of blockchain technology for educational evaluation data and proposes to improve the consensus mechanism in educational evaluation information sharing. The PBFT consensus algorithm is updated with node contribution reward and punishment mechanism, the consensus nodes are selected by Fibonacci function characteristics, and the consistency protocol is optimized, so as to design a practical Byzantine fault-tolerant algorithm NCG-PBFT based on node contribution grouping, and analyze the credit value, throughput, normal block out delay, and the number of communications of NCG-PBFT consensus algorithm. Build a comprehensive education quality evaluation platform and bring in the improved PBFT consensus algorithm to test the operation performance of the comprehensive education quality evaluation platform. When the request frequency tends to be stable, the education comprehensive evaluation system of NCG-PBFT consensus algorithm is able to improve the system throughput by 74.54% compared with the PBFT algorithm, which is able to meet the performance and stability requirements of the education comprehensive quality evaluation system.
