Application of QR codes as a tool for involving students in the process of teaching mathematics in basic secondary school

Abstract

The concept of QR code is considered, the advantages of their use in education are indicated, and examples of their use in mathematics education are given. A QR code (Quick Response Code) is a two-dimensional barcode that can contain any information, such as a link to a website, video, presentation, or interactive exercise. The article deals with the use of QR codes as a tool for engaging students in the process of learning mathematics in basic secondary school. The question was considered: How can QR codes be used to increase motivation for learning mathematics? What types of digital resources can be used with QR codes in mathematics education? What interactive learning materials can be created using QR codes? The theoretical basis of their use was considered and own methods of using QR codes in teaching mathematics were developed. The literature presents a number of studies that analyze the experience of using QR codes in teaching mathematics in other countries, these studies show their effectiveness for teaching mathematics. It was concluded that the use of QR codes helps to make mathematics lessons more interesting, conduct quests, use various games, quizzes, conduct surveys and test knowledge through testing, use interesting educational videos for a better understanding of what was learned in the lesson. The use of QR codes activates the educational and cognitive activities of students of all ages, increases motivation and interest in mathematics, improves the educational process, helps teach and educate the new generation in the modern information environment.
