Analysis of Student Needs for Digital-Based Learning Media on Thermodynamic Material for High School Students at Sangkhom Islam Wittaya School Thailand

Abstract

This study aims to analyse students' needs for digital-based learning media on thermodynamics in Mathayom 5/4 (Grade 11) class at Sangkhom Islam Wittaya School, Thailand. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method, with a sample of 25 students. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and questionnaires. The results of the questionnaire data were then processed and made into percentages in the form of tables and graphs. Based on the results of the questionnaire, 84% of students support the development of digital learning media, because they believe that this media will facilitate the understanding of thermodynamic concepts. Most students agree that digital learning media is needed to make learning more interesting and interactive. They also expect it to include educational games and sophisticated visualisations to improve their engagement and understanding of difficult material. Overall, this research shows that there is an urgent need to increase the use of digital learning media in physics learning, especially in thermodynamics, to create a more dynamic and effective learning environment.
