        abstract = {Attendance tracking is a critical component of classroom management and student accountability in educational institutions. Traditional manual attendance methods, such as paper-based sign-in sheets, often present significant challenges in terms of efficiency, accuracy, and comprehensive data management. The time-consuming nature of these methods, coupled with the risk of human errors, hinders the effective utilization of classroom time and limits the ability of educators and administrators to make data-driven decisions [1, 2].
This research paper investigates the implementation and benefits of QR code-based attendance systems as a digital alternative to traditional attendance-taking methods. The reviewed literature highlights how the adoption of QR code-based attendance systems can enhance classroom efficiency, improve data management and accessibility, increase security, and foster student engagement [1-4,7]. By streamlining the attendance-taking process and providing real-time attendance data, these digital solutions have the potential to support the overall educational objectives of academic institutions.
Findings from this literature review suggest that integrating QR code technology into attendance tracking supports the digitalization of educational processes and aligns with the growing trend of classroom technology integration[11, 12]. The proposed system highlights key components for successfully implementing a QR code-based attendance system, covering both technical and operational aspects [3, 5, 8, 9]. Adopting such a system can improve classroom management, increase student accountability, and optimize instructional time, ultimately helping institutions achieve their educational goals.},
