Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to analyse the needs of students, student teachers, and lecturers for Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT)-based teaching e-modules in the Field Experience Practices (PPL) course for prospective teachers in the Indonesian Language Teacher Professional Education (PPG) program. The research used mixed methods with an exploratory sequential design, which combines qualitative and quantitative approaches to gain a comprehensive understanding of user needs. The first stage was conducted using quantitative methods by distributing questionnaires to all participants to evaluate specific needs related to the features, materials, and presentation of e-modules that support culture-based learning. The second stage continued using qualitative methods through in-depth interviews with respondents to gain initial insights into their needs related to CRT e-modules. The results of the needs analysis of 112 students, 68 student teachers, and 23 lecturers in South Sumatra for Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT)-based teaching e-modules in the Indonesian Professional Teacher Education (PPG) programme Field Experience Practice (PPL) course showed that the majority of respondents have a high need for e-modules that can accommodate local cultural contexts, increase students‘ understanding of students’ cultural diversity, and create an inclusive learning environment. CRT-based e-modules are also considered important to increase student engagement and readiness in facing the learning context in the field. The findings are expected to be a reference in the development of teaching e-modules that are effective, responsive to cultural diversity, and relevant to the teaching needs in PPL PPG.
