Abstract
The development of a QR code as a barcode label contains information about the item to which it is attached. However, information on QR code development in engineering science laboratories is still limited. The aim of this research is to design the QR code lab manual for laboratory work in polytechnics engineering science course. In addition, the students’ views in construct of easiness of use, usefulness and enjoyment using the QR code are also investigated. The QR code lab manual involved seven steps of development under the engagement theory in teaching and learning. Learning materials are embedded into the QR code within 1 sheet of an A4 size card. A total of 64 students were chosen using purposive sampling. Data from survey questionnaires revealed that the respondents have a high level for all the constructs. It has been suggested that students perceived the QR code lab manual developed as a useful tool that is easier to use in the future. This QR code lab manual allows educators to connect the traditional teaching style and provide students with a more genuine and unforgettable educational experiences. Future studies should consider a different experiment with the new design for QR codes with additional constructs and a variety of perspectives.
