Needs Analysis For Development Application Of An Augmented Reality-Integrated E-Module On Magnetic Induction

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to provide empirical data for the development of an integrated Augmented Reality (AR) physics learning e-module application focusing on the topic of Magnetic Induction among senior high school students from the perspective of physics teachers in Bandung city. Using a quantitative approach, 32 physics teachers from Bandung city completed a needs assessment questionnaire. In terms of learning conditions, Magnetic Induction was identified as the most difficult topic for students to understand, mentioned by teachers 53.1% (understanding basic concepts), 56.3% (visualization of abstract material concepts), 62.5% (solving application problems), and 46.9% (lack of student interest in learning). Current teaching methods and materials (21.9%) are less effective in supporting student understanding, 50% still use textbooks, Both teachers and students expressed a strong preference for e-module applications that integrate AR to visualize abstract concepts, increase engagement, and provide clear explanations, practical activities, and learning evaluations. Although the potential of AR is recognized, it has not been optimally utilized because there is currently no integration with physics e-modules. This study highlights the urgent need for the importance of AR-based e-module applications to create more engaging, interactive, contextual, relevant learning experiences and improve learning outcomes, especially on complex topics such as magnetic induction.
