To examine the use of QR code in the classroom to improve motivation, communication, collaboration and critical thinking. 2017.
The research into QR codes in education can be placed in the context of mobile learning. A QR code consists of black modules (square dots) arranged in a square grid on a white background, which can be read by an imaging device (such as a camera).23. In this sense, QR codes act as a valuable tool for working paperless in the classroom.
Below are details on how QR codes can be used to teach reading and listening. QR codes are accompanied by several questions to help students find what to look for on web pages.
Conceptual Framework
- Research Design
- Research Paradigm
- Subject of the Research
- Time and Location of the Research
- Data Collection Technique
- Data Analysis Technique
In determining the conceptual framework, the researcher thinks based on the Quick Response (QR) Code program used in the teaching process, especially in English as a foreign language, SMKS DDI introduces the QR Code program in school and all teachers apply it when teaching in the classroom. In this chapter, the researcher presents some points related to this study including the research design, the topic of the study, the time and location of the study, the technique of data collection and the technique of data analysis. Sugiyono stated that research method is the scientific method, the scientific way of obtaining the data for the purpose and usefulness of something.54 To obtain the data, the researcher used two data collection techniques: observation and interview.
In this observation, the first subject of the observation was teacher activities in the class when the teachers used the QR Code program in teaching EFL. In this study, the researcher observed the teaching and learning process when teachers and students used the QR Code program in the EFL classroom. In this case, the determination of the sample, the researchers first choose the twelfth grade teacher, because the researcher feels incomplete of the data provided, the researchers look for other people who are seen as more knowledgeable and can supplement the data provided by the principal. In this case all English teachers and all students' class representatives.
In this research, the researcher analyzed the collected data using several steps of data reduction, data display and data completion/verification. Data reduction was done during the research activities if the data were important did not support the data needed by the researcher. When the data has been analyzed, the researcher began to describe the findings and the data presented descriptively.
The description that the researcher made based on the data collected with the literature review. After the process of collecting and analyzing the data, the researcher tried to find out and get the conclusion or verification from the result based on the data taken by the researcher from the field. The data sources are taken from the conclusion of teacher's way of using QR code program in teaching and learning of EFL Classroom.
To find out the result of the research, the researcher interviews four teachers and four students, it is also seen from the observation made by the writers from the first meeting to the end.

According to the interview data, the QR Code program does not take much time in the task presentations. And for essays, it's usually easier because the exact answer essay model is different, so there's usually no need to include an answer key, then the teacher makes a code." The QR code in doing the assessment is very easy for teachers to work on to assess students, and the teacher's job is to direct, supervise and guide students in its use so that it can support student achievement.
In my opinion, it is easy because the material is scanned directly through the mobile phone, then we can find the material we need to study...”. In my opinion, it is easier to access subjects because we only scan and then the material to be studied appears without having to search again.”. I think it's easier because we just scan the code and then the material appears without typing a long link.
Based on the interview data, the QR code program can be used as a new motivation for students in learning. Very motivated because it is very simple and makes it easy for us, and the material model is interesting....”. We can open and study all the material, and then the material is also interesting, there are videos, photos and others....".
Meanwhile, printed books are usually a bit difficult because we are not directly on the material that the teacher will explain…”. Using a QR code makes it easier to immediately find the material we want to study, whereas with a printed book it is usually difficult to find the material. If using a QR code is easier, we can immediately find the material to study, while using a printed book is usually more difficult because the book is usually thick and it is usually difficult to find the material we are studying.”
In my opinion, it is easier to use a QR code to perform a task because it is easier to perform and finish it on a mobile phone…”.
