Level of Acceptability of Qr Code-Integrated Identification (Id) Card for Monitoring Students' attendance

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

This study primarily seeks to adopt, develop a Quick Response (QR) Code-integrated ID cards and find out whether the developed tool will be helpful as per the perceptions of both teachers and students.

METHODS

This study utilized the use of Descriptive/Developmental approach focusing on the acceptability of the tool, with Purposive Sampling technique wherein all teachers of the school (24 teachers) and Supreme Student Government (SSG) Officers (14 officers) responded through a simulation process and a questionnaire checklist. The analysis of the tool will be based on four (4) aspects; Functionality, Speed and Accuracy, User-Friendliness, and Data Transferring. Data gathered were collected for quantitative analysis and significant differences in the perception of the two groups of respondents.

RESULTS

After garnering all the respondents' weighted mean of the four aspects in the questionnaire checklist, the study revealed that both teachers and student leaders highly accepted the developed QR code-integrated IDs. Among the four aspects, it can be gleaned that the User-Friendliness aspect's mean is the highest compared to the four aspects which imply that the developed QR-code integrated ID can be easily adopted and used by its users. However, the research found that there was a significant difference in the perception of the two groups of respondents. But even the respondents have varied perceptions on the tool, it is still projected to be helpful to the attendance system of the school based on the summary ofthe respondents' "Very Much Accepted" overall rating on the QR Code-integrated IDs.

DISCUSSIONS

Results clearly showed that both teachers and students of the school accepted the developed QR code-based tool. This demonstrated the need for the implementation of the QR code system for the innovation to be assessed and to be effective. However, future researchers must develop functional QR scanners with attendance systems since the study focuses on the development of new IDs, aside from the downloadable scanner and attendance system that is suggested in the study. The success of the project will rely on the continuous development of the study.
