Developing an Interactive Multimedia Module for the Topic of Making Clothes: A Requirements Analysis

Open access
This study discusses the analysis results of the requirements carried out as a first step in constructing an interactive multimedia module for learning and facilitating (LFc) the topic of making clothes. Respondents consist of 13 Home Science teachers and 166 form five students from different secondary schools in the northern zone of Sarawak. The purpose of this analysis is to identify the normative requirements of the topics contained in Home Science Standards of Content and ascertain the perception and student-sense needs. This requirement analysis of students is also done from the perspective of teachers as individuals who are directly involved in the learning and facilitation of Home Science. The results show that the topic of making clothes is considered as a very difficult subject by the teachers and students. The results of the comprehension test on the topic of making clothes also show the students' low level of achievement. Although the teachers use multimedia software to teach the topic of making clothes, it is found that the software used to teach the topic is incomplete and does not conform to the Home Science Standards of Content.
