Analysis of teaching material needs in the form of general physics e-modules based on scientific approach

Abstract

This study aims to develop a teaching material for general physics courses in the form of an electronic module based on a scientific approach. The initial step in developing this teaching material is the prelude study consisting literature and field studies. This research is a type of qualitative descriptive study. The used instruments to collect research data are in the form of a lecturer needs analysis questionnaire, and a student needs analysis questionnaire collected using google forms. Teaching materials have been developed in the form of Electronic Modules (E-Modules) which are presented with a scientific approach. E-Modules provide text, images, learning videos, and competency mastery evaluation tests that can be accessed offline and online to make it easier for students to learn the subject matter independently. Needs analysis was conducted to determine the learning resources used by lecturers and students and the learning resources needed by students. Based on the questionnaire of 28 students, the results are teaching materials which are generally used in the form of printed books and e-books, while the use of modules in the form of print modules and electronic modules is very rarely. Some students have difficulty in understanding general physics material, students feel that the available teaching materials are not helpful enough to build a whole understanding of the subject matter, students have difficulty in understanding physics concepts, have difficulty in understanding the derivation of formulas and have difficulty in solving problems. Students need teaching materials that can be used independently in the form of e-modules whose materials are presented with a scientific approach. The results of the analysis indicate the need to develop teaching materials in the form of General Physics E-Modules based on a scientific approach.
