Determinants affecting behavioural intention of using QR codes as a learning tool

Quick Response (QR) code is a popular kind of matrix barcode invented by Denso Wave, permitting its contents to be interpreted swiftly by QR code scanner. It is scannable using cameras in smartphones and tablet computers, consequently preventing inconvenience and probable mistakes of keyboard input. However, QR codes are relatively new and the awareness of adopting QR codes in learning among the students is still low in Malaysia. This study was conducted to investigate the determinants affecting the behavioural intention of using QR codes as a learning tool based on Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2). Data collected from 275 undergraduate students of private universities in Perak State were tested against the research model using multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions and hedonic motivation have a significant and positive relationship on behavioural intention in using QR codes as a learning tool. This study provides implications for the acceptance of using QR codes as a learning tool in terms of both theoretical and practical.
