Needs Analysis of Air Quality Detection Tool in Project Based Learning

Abstract

Riau is an area that tends to experience the effects of air pollution due to smoke haze and dust in the dry season, causes the need for early understanding for students in schools. For this reason, it is necessary to have an experiment media specifically designed for learning science physics on environmental pollution and global warming in secondary schools. Therefore, the purpose of the research is to analyze the need for an air quality detection experiment that can be used in project-based learning. This research uses the method of ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) which focuses on the analysis phase of the need for designing experiment media tools. The instrument of research collecting data was through interviews with teachers and giving questionnaires to junior high school students. The results of the research indicate that an experiment tools media that is easy to use, easy to carry, has instructions and is able to measure air quality digitally is needed. Based on the analysis of the aspects of the needs through interviews with teachers and questionnaire to students, basically teacher and students need an experiment tools meda for detection of air quality in project-based learning in yunior high schools.
