Teacher Needs Analysis on the Development of Android-Based Chemistry Learning Media

Abstract

Chemistry is an abstract knowledge, so it requires media as an intermediary in delivering the material. In supporting this, an analysis of teacher needs is carried out. This study aimed to describe the teacher’s need for Android-based chemistry learning media that can support the chemistry learning process in the classroom. The method used in this research is survey method. The research participants were 10 chemistry teachers from schools in Makassar City. Data collection was carried out by means of a questionnaire (google form) which is the questionnaire adapted from the results of research journals relevant to the development of chemistry learning media. The results were analyzed descriptively and obtained data that the media often used by teachers, such as PPT/LCD projectors with a percentage of 90%, while android based chemistry learning media is still very rarely used. The obstacles were making, using and developing media which taken a very long time so that the teachers feel uninterested in making media and there is a lack of ideas on what media is good for learning chemistry. So they suggested that tutorials be given in the creating and use of instructional media.
