QR code learning and video self-learning education: A systematic literature review

Objectives This study conducted a systematic literature review to gather fundamental data for the development of a video education model utilizing QR codes. Methods A systematic literature review was conducted to analyze prior research involving QR codes and studies related to video self-learning. Utilizing Korean academic information search services from January 2008 to January 2024, articles were searched using keywords such as ‘Learner,’ ‘student,’ ‘trainee,’ ‘QR,’ ‘QR code,’ ‘learning,’ ‘education,’ ‘video,’ ‘self-learning,’ ‘skill,’ ‘self-efficacy,’ ‘knowledge,’ ‘Attitude,’ etc. A total of 61 studies on QR codes were identified, from which 10 were selected. Additionally, 183 studies on video self-learning were reviewed, resulting in the selection of 9 studies. Results QR code creation was a simple process, and video materials were primarily integrated, and there were various educational media that could be applied to learning using QR codes. QR code-based education demonstrated a positive impact on academic achievement, and self-study through videos was associated with increased self-efficacy. Conclusions It is expected that QR code video education can serve as a supplementary medium for self-directed learning.
