The Design and Development of an Android Application for Elementary Schools Based on QR Code

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technologies has stimulated the integration of mobile learning to promote more efficient and flexible learning processes. However, teaching activities are still dominated by traditional methods with limited access to digital resources, which makes it difficult for students, especially in elementary schools, to access their learning. Therefore, this research aims to design and develop a mobile education application based on Android and integrated with the QR code technology called EduQR, to allow students to access their educational material quickly and easily. The research method included observations and literature studies followed by analysis of the system, development of applications, implementation and testing. The application has been developed with Android Studio using the Java programming language and uses the QR code scanner to connect students directly to digital learning materials that are stored online. The proposed application offers key features such as scanning of the QR code to access the educational material, learning history and management of user profiles. The results show that EduQR works correctly, is user-friendly and effectively supports students in gaining access to the digital learning resources, with hopes this will lead to increase their digital literacy, supporting independent learning and helping teachers to deliver materials in a more practical and interactive way.
