Need analysis for developing of a light waves module: a three-dimensional learning framework

Abstract

Some meaningful changes in science learning standards are listed in A Framework for K-12 Science Education and Next Generation Science Standards: For States, By States under a three-dimensional learning framework. Learning modules must be developed with the framework as the most advanced science learning standards. The research focus was to determine student needs for developing light waves module based on a three-dimensional learning framework. This study involved 147 respondents consisting of 22 teachers with different backgrounds and 125 high school students in the Purwakarta Regency. The instrument used was a 3DLQP questionnaire which included initial knowledge of the three-dimensional learning framework, learning modules in the school, criticism, and suggestions. Data obtained from questionnaires, interviews, national curriculum documents, NGSS complementary documents and then analyzed using triangulation of data sources. Based on the results, the teacher and student responses explain the need for the development of learning modules. This learning module is expected to facilitate the development of coherent and interconnected student knowledge, so that it can be used in various situations of everyday life.
