Needs Analysis for Developing a Thermochemistry Learning Module at SMAN 3 Siak Hulu

Rostia Melisa Dirgahayu Sisanty — 2026-01-31

A needs analysis is an essential initial stage in the development of instructional materials to ensure alignment with students’ characteristics and learning problems. This study aimed to analyze students’ needs for developing a thermochemistry learning module at SMAN 3 Siak Hulu. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach involving 36 eleventh-grade science students (Class XI MIPA) and one chemistry teacher as the research participants. Data were collected through a needs analysis questionnaire with dichotomous “Yes/No” options, interviews, and classroom observations. The results indicate that students had not yet understood thermochemistry concepts adequately and experienced difficulties in both conceptual understanding and numerical calculations. In addition, the instructional materials used previously did not optimally support independent learning. Students reported a strong need for supplementary learning materials that are systematic, contextual, and easy to understand. These findings suggest that developing a thermochemistry learning module is necessary as a learning guide to help students learn concepts independently and to support more effective chemistry learning.

Preliminary Study on Developing a Chemistry Magazine as a Learning Media for Grade X Senior High School Students

Tasya Akmelia — 2026-01-31

This study aims to examine the initial need for developing a chemistry magazine as a learning medium for the atomic structure topic for Grade X senior high school students. The study employed a mixed-methods approach and was conducted at SMA Negeri 4 Siak Hulu in December 2025. Quantitative data were collected through a student needs analysis questionnaire, whereas qualitative data were obtained through an interview with the chemistry teacher. Data were analyzed using a Likert scale and thematic analysis. The results indicate that developing a chemistry magazine as a learning medium for Grade X students is strongly needed, with a mean score of 83.1%. Furthermore, the findings reveal that students are interested in and need interactive learning media to understand the material better and improve their learning outcomes in the topic of atomic structure.

Needs Analysis for the Development of Interactive Animation-Video–Based Media for Grade XI Senior High School Students

This study aimed to analyze teachers’ and students’ needs regarding the development of interactive animation-video–based learning media for the circulatory system topic for Grade XI senior high school students in the 2025/2026 academic year. The study employed a descriptive approach using a survey method. The participants comprised two biology teachers and 30 Grade XI students from SMA Negeri 1 Pekanbaru and SMA Negeri 3 Siak Hulu. Data were collected through interviews, a student needs questionnaire, and documentation, and were analyzed descriptively using quantitative and qualitative techniques. The findings indicate that teachers require learning media that are more structured, interactive, and aligned with learning outcomes because the currently used media have not been optimal in supporting students’ understanding of the circulatory system concepts, which are largely abstract. Student questionnaire results show that all need indicators fall into the “Needed” category, including the need for engaging interactive media (68%), curriculum alignment (67%), students’ readiness and learning interest (73%), and the effectiveness of animation media for comprehension and learning outcomes (70%). These results suggest that the development of interactive animation-video–based media is relevant to support effective biology learning consistent with the demands of 21st-century education.

Needs Analysis for Developing Interactive Digital Comics in the Acid–Base Topic for Grade XII Students at SMA Negeri 2 Siak Hulu

Fitri Ani — 2026-01-31

Education plays a strategic role in improving the quality of human resources, including through chemistry learning at the senior high school (SMA) level. Nevertheless, learning about acids and bases still faces various constraints, especially students' low motivation to learn and the limited availability of engaging, contextual learning media. This study aims to analyze the need for developing interactive digital comics as learning media for the acid–base topic in Grade XII. The study used a descriptive quantitative approach with a survey method. The participants included students and chemistry teachers at SMA Negeri 3 Siak Hulu. Data were collected through a needs analysis questionnaire that covered learning approaches, methods and models, learning motivation, and the need for digital learning media. The results show that the level of need for developing instructional tools is in the very high category, with an average percentage of 82.29%. The approach/method/model indicator obtained the highest percentage (85.42%), followed by student learning motivation (84.38%) and the need for digital learning media (77.08%). These findings indicate that interactive digital comics have the potential to become an effective alternative learning medium to enhance motivation and understanding of acid–base concepts. Thus, developing interactive digital comics is considered relevant and necessary as an innovation in chemistry learning media for Grade XII.

The Effect of Guided Inquiry–Based Student Worksheets (LKPD) on Students' Science Process Skills and Cognitive Learning Outcomes

Salma Apipah — 2026-01-31

This study was motivated by students' low science process skills and cognitive learning outcomes, attributed to limited laboratory facilities and to instructional methods that did not actively engage learners. The study aimed to examine the effect of guided inquiry-based Student Worksheets (LKPD) on students' science process skills and cognitive learning outcomes. A quantitative quasi-experimental design was employed, involving two Grade X classes (experimental and control) at SMA Negeri 10 Mataram. Data were collected using an observation-sheet questionnaire to assess science process skills and a cognitive achievement test administered as a pretest and posttest. Hypothesis testing was conducted using ANOVA with the aid of SPSS. The results indicated improvement in science process skills in the experimental class, with the mean posttest score reaching 79 (compared with 77 in the control class). Cognitive learning outcomes also increased significantly, with a mean posttest score of 82 in the experimental class compared with 77 in the control class. The ANOVA results yielded a significance value of 0.00 (< 0.05), indicating that H₀ was rejected and Hₐ was accepted. Therefore, guided inquiry-based LKPD had a significant effect on students' science process skills and cognitive learning outcomes, and may serve as an alternative instructional medium to enhance the quality of biology learning in schools.
