Preliminary analysis and the need for physics learning in SMAN 1 Koto Baru

This article describes a preliminary study on students’ characteristics and their needs in physics learning at SMAN 1 Koto Baru. This study was conducted to evaluate the characteristics of the students and to analyze the need of teacher responses assessment in physics learning activities. The sort of research to be used is research and development. This research uses descriptive statistical methods. Items developed in the form of E-Book based on Project Based Learning (PJBL) models sponsored by the Science Laboratory Kit, Physics content class X. The model of growth uses the Plomp model. Researchers used interview cards, instructor questionnaires and student questionnaires to collect initial data. Initial data collection was carried out at SMAN 1 Koto Baru. Based on the findings of the survey observations, the results of the analysis on students’ characteristics shows the percentage of attitudes at 66.67%, initial ability at 62.50%, learning styles at 70%, learning interest at 58.3%, and the motivation at a percentage of 68.75%. Analysis of the needs reflected in the performance analysis at 82.14%, the standard graduation analysis is based on the analysis of attitudes at 80%. The acquisition of knowledge at 54.16% and the skill at 46.43%. E-Book can encourage students to participate actively in the materials discussed. The Science Laboratory Kit will help teachers understand. Such work will produce true, realistic and efficient products. Therefore, the learning activities becomes meaningful, and can improve students' competence.
