Abstract:
The present study aimed to identify the obstacles teachers of the first three grades face in utilizing Quick Response (QR) Code technology during their teaching. A descriptive survey methodology was employed to achieve objectives of the study. The study sample consisted of 270 female teachers of the first three grades in the University District of Amman, the capital governorate. The study instrument was a questionnaire comprising 15 items,whose validity and reliability were verified. The study results revealed that teachers face significant obstacles in employing QR Code technology. Additionally, statistically significant differences were found in teachers’ use of QR Code technology based on the supervising authority and years of experience. The differences favored teachers in private schools and those with less than five years of experience or ten years or more, compared to teachers with five to ten years of experience, respectively. However, the results showed no statistically significant differences in teachers’ use of QR Code technology based on the number of training courses in technology. In light of these findings, the study recommended training students in the first three grades on using QR Code technology and leveraging it for completing homework and accessing desired content quickly and efficiently.
