NEEDS ANALYSIS OF BASIC MODULE CONTENT FOR PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING APPROACH

In research on module development, a needs analysis study is conducted to ensure that the module produced can meet the needs and specifications of users. This study was conducted to identify the content requirements of the problem-based learning approach module, in an effort to improve the level of teacher mastery related to the problem-based learning approach. In order to create a digital module that can meet the needs of teachers as users, a needs analysis was conducted on five school teachers in the Kubang Pasu district. Data collection was done through semi-structured interviews and purposive sampling techniques were used in sample selection. Qualitative data from the interviews were categorized and analyzed to identify themes and make sense of the data. Data analysis has identified four main themes which are: (1) Teacher knowledge related to problem-based learning approach, (2) Teacher skills related to problem-based learning approach, (3) Teacher attitude related to problem-based learning approach, and (4) Characteristics The module expected by the teacher is simple, easy to understand and includes a demonstration video of the implementation of the problem-based learning approach. The needs analysis shows that the basic digital module of the problem-based learning approach has the potential to be developed. Apart from the four main themes identified, the suggestions and specifications obtained from the interviews provided useful information for developing the module content. These findings will be used to design and develop module content in the next phase. This discovery is expected to help produce a digital teaching module that is able to give ideas to teachers to apply a problem-based learning approach in the teaching and learning process, and further ensure a positive impact on students.
