ANALYSIS OF STUDENTS’ LEARNING RESOURCES AND INDEPENDENCE NEEDS IN THE CONCEPT OF ANIMAL TISSUES STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION

Abstrak

This research is a preliminary study to obtain information about students' needs for learning resources and independent learning on the concept of structure and function of animal tissues. This data will be used as a basic for developing new learning resources in the form of research-based electronic modules (e-modules). It integrates relevant research results and is compiled systematically. This research is an exploratory research. Respondents used were Biology subject teachers and high school students of class XII. Respondents came from three high schools (SMA) located in Pidie Regency, namely SMAN 1 Sakti, SMAN 1 Mila and SMAN 1 Indrajaya. The instrument used is an interview sheet for teacher needs analysis, and student needs analysis questionnaire. The results showed that from a total of 68 respondents representing the 3 target schools, 74.31% of students had a handbook to learn the concept of Structure and Function of Animal Tissues and 70.66% of students had a strong motivation for self-study. However, according to 54.32% of students the handbook has not been able to complete the material. 59.98% of students think that the concept of structure and function of animal tissue is difficult to learn, so 71.76% of students need new learning resources as additional learning support and can be used independently. It is also seen that 57.76 % of students have never used e-modules and 72.47% of students are eager to try to learn to use research-based e-modules. It can be concluded that it is very necessary to develop new learning resources in the form of research-based e-modules for the concept of Structure and Function of Animal Tissues.]
