Abstract

This exploratory qualitative article with an inductive approach aims to analyze the needs of students of the mathematics education study program at one of the leading universities in Surakarta City regarding learning media that can facilitate the implementation of distance learning during the Coronavirus pandemic. Data were obtained through distributing questionnaires using Google Form to 63 students who had taken the analytic geometry course at the beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic, interviews with 2 lecturers, and 3 students selected through snowball sampling technique.
