Implementasi Sistem Absensi Santri Berbasis QR Code untuk Meningkatkan Efektivitas Kehadiran Belajar di Pondok Pesantren Tahfidz Izzul Qur’an Pagaralam

Abstract

Attendance recording at Pondok Pesantren Tahfidz Izzul Qur'an Pagaralam was previously conducted manually, making the process less effective, time-consuming, and prone to recording errors. This community service activity aimed to implement a QR Code-based attendance system to improve the effectiveness, accuracy, and efficiency of student attendance management. The implementation methods included needs assessment, system design, QR Code creation for each student, system testing, user training, and evaluation. The attendance system was integrated with Google Spreadsheet to enable automatic attendance recording and real-time monitoring. The implementation results showed that the QR Code-based attendance system simplified the attendance process, reduced recording errors, accelerated attendance recap, and facilitated attendance monitoring by the boarding school administrators. The program also received positive responses from administrators because it supported a more organized and technology-based attendance management system. Therefore, implementing a QR Code-based attendance system can serve as an effective digital solution to improve attendance management in Islamic boarding schools.
