“…This finding aligns with results from numerous studies in this field, indicating that QR codes allow for autonomy and directed learning, supporting student-centred learning (Jacobs & Renandya, 2016;Bremner et al, 2022). In line with findings from Shahril et al, (2019), who stated that QR codes offer convenience, fostering positive student behaviours and boosting their involvement in classroom activities. Additionally, these codes serve as a catalyst for educators to incorporate technology-driven approaches into the educational process.…”

This study was aimed to investigate the implementation of Quick Response Codes in improving student-centred learning and to find out some challenges faced by the learners while using the QR Codes. This study employed descriptive study design and a cross-sectional survey-based design. Two research tools were used, namely, questionnaires and interviews. The participants were 20 students at a private business high school (first grade) located in South Korea. The result of the study showed that students overwhelmingly expressed a positive attitude toward the use of Quick Response Codes (QR codes) in promoting student-centred learning. They perceived QR codes as effective tools for enhancing motivation, engagement, and accessibility to learning resources. The majority of students appreciated the autonomy and collaborative opportunities QR codes offer, contributing to increased participation and self-directed learning. Despite the challenges of varying motivation levels in group work and time constraints, students expressed a high agreement to continue using QR codes in future learning. This underscores the importance of teacher creativity and effective time management to maximize the positive impact of QR codes on student-centred learning. While the study acknowledges varied opinions, it underscores the significant role QR codes play in supporting a student-centric approach to learning.

“…Some scholars (Ramsden, 2008;Googova & Koceska, 2014;Chee & Tan, 2021) argue that QR codes are beneficial to raise standards in education, while others (Bakla, 2018;Alzubi, 2019;Ding et al, 2019) elucidate that they pose some risks for educators and learners. To name a few, Shahril et al (2019) postulate that QR codes serve as an interactive tool to form a communication bridge between the teacher and the students. Additionally, Ali et al ( 2017) assert that QR codes can function to provide links, videos and illustrations, so students' learning can be enhanced dramatically.…”

Developments in technology have affected education in an unprecedented way. The affordability of mobile technologies has prompted educators to implement mobile enriched instructions in classes. In this regard, QR codes have received much attention at educational institutions for their advantages, such as being flexible, handy, and cost-free, particularly in the last two decades. For this purpose, the current study was carried out at TISHK International University in Erbil, Iraq, on fifty advanced English students during the 2022-2023 academic year, spanning 6 weeks. The participants were chosen via stratified random sampling method. Control group students received traditional education, while experimental group students were exposed to QR code-based instruction through recorded audio tracks, videos, presentations, and e-exams. The findings, collected through exams and analyzed using SPSS 25 in this quantitative study, revealed that QR code-based instruction significantly improved students' vocabulary knowledge and pronunciation accuracy, with p-values of .002 and .003, respectively. The findings of this study can have implications for education stakeholders who aim to devise novel ways to enhance students' levels with web-enhanced tools like QR codes.

“…The students admitted that Facebook gave them a chance to practise English. Shahril et al (2018) also carried out a study exploring Facebook as a learning tool and found that Facebook increases students' enthusiasm and motivation in learning. The study also strongly recommended that educators at tertiary institutions entirely use social media as an educational tool to enhance and improve students' learning experiences (Shahril et al, 2018).…”

Education fields have rapidly transformed since the year 2020 from the traditional method to adapting more Web-based tools. Facebook has been regarded as one of the most popular social platforms teachers and learners use in education. It is perceived by teachers and learners as a tool that improves the teaching and learning processes significantly through its several features. This study aims to explore the Malaysian teachers’ views on Facebook in their teaching. Eighty teachers from different levels of Malaysia’s institutions participated in this study. This study adopted the quantitative method to gather teachers’ views on the advantages and disadvantages of Facebook and their reflections on Facebook usage in teaching and learning. Findings showed that teachers had a positive perception of the use of Facebook. This study also found no significant difference between male and female teachers in their perception of Facebook use. This study suggests that teachers optimise this tool in their teaching based on the advantages of using Facebook.
