QR Code-Practicum Guide Based on Guided Inquiry as The Novel Biology Lab Activities Learning Assisted

Abstract

Educators play an important role in developing learning tools that are interesting and by the needs of students. This aims to develop a QR Code-Practical Guide based on Guided Inquiry for Class XII MIPA at the High School Level on growth and development in plants and photosynthesis and to determine the validity, practicality, and effectiveness. This type of research is Research and Development with the ADDIE model which consists of 5 stages, namely Analyze, design, development, Implementation, and evaluation. The research location is at SMAN 2 Majene, East Banggae District, Majene Regency, West Sulawesi Province. The research subjects were class XI MIPA 5 which consisted of 31 students. The results of the validation of the QR Code Practical Guide based on Guided Inquiry using the assessment sheet of media experts and material experts who were assessed by 2 expert validators obtained a result of 3.8 which is included in the valid category. The results of the practicality of the QR Code Practical Guide based on Guided Inquiry using teacher response questionnaires and student response questionnaires. The results of the questionnaire analysis show that the value of the teacher's response is 92.6%, getting the very practical category and the value of the student's response is 86.6% getting the very practical category. The results of the QR Code Practical Guide based on Guided Inquiry using test questions, the learning outcomes obtained are 80.7% in the effective category. Thus the QR Code Practical Guide based on Guided Inquiry is declared valid, practical, and effective to be used as teaching materials.

The effect of using a QR code-enhanced brochure on students' knowledge and skill learning outcomes

“…They have been shown to enhance student interest in learning, foster teamwork skills, and broaden cultural perspectives, thereby promoting the development of global competencies [12]. QR codes have been widely implemented in educational institutions, including universities and colleges, to enhance the effectiveness of teaching and learning processes [13].…”

“…QR codes offer advantages such as fast reading speed, error correction, multi-language support, and durability [11,22]. They have been utilized in various ways, including creating educational materials, conducting surveys and tests, expanding textbook content, and supporting the study of different subjects [12,13]. Research has demonstrated that the use of QR codes in the classroom can increase interest in learning, develop teamwork skills, and improve learning outcomes [23].…”

Implementation QR-Code for Introducing Optical Instruments

“…She stated that QR codeintegrated module can increase interest in learning. Meanwhile in the laboratory, QR code can be used in application for Laboratory Clearance Form (Rochmawati et al, 2018), for an inventory of science laboratory equipment (Mamin et al, 2017); to introduce chemical instruments to students (Nazar et al, 2022); and as practicum-teaching material (Rahmah et al, 2023). Based on the research that has been done, it can be seen that the QR code has a positive value in its use in the classroom and laboratory.…”
