Abstract

The purpose of the study is to analyze the modern state and prospects of using the technology for QR-code creation and recognition and experimentally check the efficiency and feasibility of their application in the professional competence formation of future chemists and economists. Analysis of scientific and methodological literature were used; also, diagnostic methods (observation, conversations, questionnaires, testing) were used to determine the efficiency of apply the technology for QR-code creation and recognition in teaching students. A pedagogical experiment to empirically test the efficiency and feasibility of their application in increasing the motivation and performance during professional competence formation of future chemists and economists were used, as well as methods of mathematical statistics. So, the proposed method of using the technology of QR codes in educational activities forms and develops professional competencies, ensuring an increase in the quality indicators of the educational process. Therefore, QR codes can be used in the educational process as an interactive pedagogical tool, with the help of which effective educational activities of students are organized.
