A NEED ANALYSIS OF A SCIENCE CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT FOR A GRADUATE LEVEL

Abstract

 This research adopted a mixed–methods approach. The objective was to study need analysis of a science curriculum development for a graduate level and to compare need analysis of a science curriculum classification by type of personnel and residence. We collected data with simple random sampling 100 people. There were 18 people who agree to provide information. The tools used in this research were questionnaires and study interviews the needs analysis of a science curriculum development for a graduate level. The tools consistency index were between 0.67 – 1 The query had confidence value of 0.93. the results showed that 1. The sample groups required the most a science curriculum for a graduate level and when considering each aspect, it was found that the application is the most desirable. 2. The sample groups were different types of personnel. There was a statistically significant difference in the overall and each side approach to need analysis of a science curriculum development for a graduate level at a level of 0.05 3. The sample groups were different residence. There was need analysis of a science curriculum development for a graduate level a whole and each side. It was no different. Results from qualitative data analysis can be summarized that most of sample saw that the current problem of teaching science cannot be applied in daily life. Instructors should add innovative applied science content. It could be linked to real life and could be used to solve problems. Today’s science teaching should improve the transfer of knowledge by making it interesting there were diversity and learners were the center of true learning. The essential skills identified for instructors included integration skills, such as integration into everyday life, multidisciplinary content and modern technology. Graduate programs related to science it should be a course that could develop knowledge and apply it in daily life or in one’s own community in a sustainable manner. The suggestion made by the sample were that the curriculum should help develop the community or local area to help learners used it sustainably.
