ANALYSIS OF THE PROBLEM, REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

AND REVIEW OF REATED STUDIES

Analysis of the Problem

School ID is one of the most important things of a student should

have. The ordinary ID these days only contains the basic information of

the learners and the modern technology is progressing and developing in

a very fast rate, therefore the researchers have come up of integrating the

modern technology to the old fashion ID of the learners.

The study addresses the problem of the learner’s ID which having

the basic information of the learners and the researchers notice that the

students have a huge space for developments. The old fashion ID is very

simple therefore the researchers wanted to add additional features to

provide convenience to the parents, teachers and the learners.

The old fashion ID need to be upgraded and should be improving

with the help of the modern technology. If the improvement will be

successful it addresses the problem of the ID that is only having the

basic information.

The researchers ought to add Quick Response code or QR code to

the learner’s ID to solve the ID being addressed in the study. The QR

code will give the certain link that will automatically go to the site where

3
the learner’s parents and teachers can view the information associated to

the link within the QR code and with this it gives convenience.

Review of Related Literature

It could be stated that studies on use of QR Codes in education

were generally conducted in the field of mobile learning. Review of the

related literature revealed that mobile devices were used while using QR

Codes. According to So (2008), the most important aspect of mobile

learning is the trilogy of ‘location independence’, ‘time independence’ and

‘meaningful content’. These three basic features are among

characteristics of mobile learning, and they differ from e-learning and

web-based learning due to these features (Law & So, 2010).

The rising speed of mobile technology is increasing and penetrating

all aspects of human life. Therefore, this technology plays a vital role in

learning different dimensions of information. Today, a clear shift from

teacher-centered learning to student-centered learning causes students

to find technology more effective and interesting than ever before

(Miangah, 2012)

In another study carried out by McCabe and Tedesco (2012), QR

codes were used via smart phones for direct connection with the subjects

within the scope of the course of mathematics. In the study conducted

with 14 learners, all the learners reported positive views about the QR

codes prepared for the course of mathematics. In such a course process,

4
83% of the learners stated that they prepared for the following lesson

better and did their homework more productively, and 67% of them

stated that there was an increase in their course marks and that they

found it easy to use QR codes. In addition, as revealed by the most

important finding obtained in the study, 83% of the learner experienced

less stress when they studied for the lessons with the help of QR codes.

According to the learners, the reason was that it was instantly possible to

access the necessary information via QR codes without having to ask

their peers or teachers.

Hernández-Julián & Peters (2012), in their study conducted to

compare doing homework online with doing homework on paper, found

that an electronic environment could make it easier to access an

instructional material and that it did not significantly influence learning.

Al-Khalifa (2011) developed a Mobile Snapshot Response system

with QR Codes. The system aimed at helping improve the communication

between teachers and their students. Rivers (2010) designed a task-

based QR Code system for English language teaching. In the study, the

researcher explained how the system was developed, applied and tested.

It was found in 47 the study that the learners enjoyed and benefited from

the system while using it to carry out the course activities. Liu, Tan and

Chu (2007), in their study, developed a learning system to improve

5
learners’ English language levels with the help of QR Codes. The study

revealed that the QR Code system helped learn English.

In their study, Ozcelik and Acarturk (2011) aimed at reducing the

spatial space between printed and online resources using QR Codes. In

this empirical study carried out with 44 university students, the

students were divided into two groups (paper + mobile phone and paper

+ computer). In the study, it was concluded that thanks to QR codes

found in course books, mobile devices contribute to learning since it is

easily possible to access information online.

Today, Smart-phone plays a significant role in people’s daily lives.

According to previous research, it is found that the mobile activated

space maintains steady growth. In 2012, the range of mobile activated

space is 8,448 activated pages, until 2013, the range of mobile activated

space increases to 13,088 activated pages. (Nellymoser2013.)

There are a lot of activities in mobile space, such as social

networking and shopping, therefore, the identification and payment

methods are created. What kind of thing can be replacing as an identity

to visit a virtual store by their smart-phone If consumers shopping

online? Quick Response Code (hereinafter QR Code) as a new identity is

used in the world, it looks like a small box which includes a random

series of black and white pixels. Even though QR Code is a tiny symbol, a

website address, specifications of particular products or personal

6
information can be included in this symbol. In addition, the surprising

news is that various information accesses can be done through smart-

phones. (Speed & Nykamp & Heiser & Anderson & Nampalli 2013, 17-

18.)

QR Code is becoming popular and extensive adoption in

international. Especially in Japan and Korea, people who are using QR

Code scanning to visit Internet accounts for 96%. The QR Code is often

used on newspapers, magazines, journals, websites, advertisement, and

advertisement board to store websites‟ addresses, content information

and miscellaneous data. For instance, QR Code is used in

advertisements 7 to guide people to visit their websites in business

world. (Jin & Du 2014, 910-911.) Additionally, QR Code becomes an

official tool is utilized in governments and companies (Speed & Nykamp

& Heiser & Anderson & Nampalli 2013, 18). In 2011, the Royal Dutch

Mint announced QR Code embedded into the official coin that QR Code

would direct a user to a website about the Royal Mint‟s centennial. The

world's largest QR Code is created by Hacherspace and painted on the

top of their company's building in Charlotte, North Carolina in 2010

(MCNC, cited by Speed & Nykamp & Heiser & Anderson & Nampalli

2013, 18.) In China, QR Code is used on the train tickets on the corner

of the right bottom and the names of passengers and relevant personal

information are also included in this QR Code (TCHINASIA 2011, cited by

Speed & Nykamp & Heiser & Anderson & Nampalli 2013, 18).

7
 In compliance with the description of the QR Code illustrates the

wide usage of the QR Code in different fields. Yet, the majority of

companies are still confused about the concept of QR Code even though

they follow the market trend while using QR Code. This research

concentrates on the concept of QR Code and attempts to understand the

characteristics of QR Code. On the basis of the underlying technologies

of QR Code, combinations of essential knowledge of QR Code explore and

analyzed the benefits of using QR Code for companies. To sum up, this

research emphasizes on describing the concept of QR Code for the sake

of offering decision guidelines for company managers when they are

implementing the platform of QR Code.

When considering QR codes in an educational context, it is

important to see QR technology as an enabler. The focus should be more

on the learners and pedagogy than on QR technology, as mobile

technologies do not guarantee enhanced learning by themselves. The

potential for mobile learning is dependent on the provision and

development of pedagogically meaningful opportunities and

environments that enhance learning. The intention should be to promote

more learner-centered learning, not to bind teaching and learning to

mobile devices. (Zhang et al., 2010)

8
Review of Related Study

For identification of students they still lie on manual handwritten

ID card and files. If proper ID card system is introduced, then it would be

much easier to identify a student and can track his/her progress.

Therefore, in this research we implemented advanced using of QR code

and student ID generation. We tried level best to make right

implementation of QR code with student ID card. Automated student ID

had image capturing facility and requirements of an ID and there is no

need of hand written ID card. QR code is attached into ID card and

student personal details can be found by scanning the QR code with

smart phones (downloaded & installed QR reader software). QR code is

said to be the next generation of bar code and using QR code with ID

card brought positive outcomes. While using software tools, identity

cards works fine and suitable for an educational institution as it is free.

Thus, ID card will be a perfect use of modern technology in developing

countries (Dybowski & Haque 2014).

Higher education is also poised to benefit from the momentum

created by the uptake of QR codes in the corporate world and popular

culture. Briefly, the potential of QR codes in education is related to their

ability to allow learners to use their mobile devices to link to specific

information quickly and easily. Our paper summarizes previous research

regarding the use of QR codes in higher education and presents ways to

9
use these codes as a support for expanding and delivering resources to

students, for interactive discovery and for making learning more

engaging for students. Also, the findings of a research among students

from The Bucharest University of Economic Studies will be exposed in

our paper. The objective of the survey was to identify students' readiness

towards the use of mobile devices for learning, their technical

possibilities and their willingness to use QR codes in learning context

and their perceptions regarding the usefulness of such instruments in

some specific learning situations (Albastroiu & Felea 2015)
