Abstract:
This quasi-experimental study investigated the effectiveness of Quick Response (QR) Code identification cards in monitoring stu-dent attendance at Jesus F. Magsaysay Technical Vocational High School during the 2022–2023 academic year. A total of 200 par-ticipants, including students, teachers, and administrators, pro-vided data through surveys and interviews. Findings revealed that the QR Code ID system significantly enhanced attendance monitoring, with 78% of respondents reporting improved accu-racy and 85% describing the system as easy to use. Statistical analysis showed a significant increase in attendance rates (t(99)=10.07, p<.05), indicating that the technology positively in-fluenced student attendance behavior. Additionally, 70% of par-ticipants observed better punctuality and consistency among stu-dents. Although minor technical issues and unclear usage guide-lines were identified, these challenges did not outweigh the sys-tem’s overall benefits. The results affirm the effectiveness of QR Code technology in improving attendance tracking and promoting student responsibility. Broader adoption, coupled with ongoing system updates and user training, is recommended to further en-hance performance and support the advancement of digital at-tendance management in educational institutions.
