Abstract

Ternate has various traditional dances passed down from generation to generation as a regional identity. One of the efforts to preserve local culture is by integrating traditional dances into Physics learning through the ethnophysics approach. This study aims to identify the need for Android-based ethnophysics learning media to be used in Physics education. The needs analysis focuses on students at SMA N 4 Ternate. The data collection method employed is a quantitative approach with purposive sampling techniques. The sample consists of 66 students and 3 Physics teachers, who provided data through observation, interviews, and the completion of a questionnaire. The results of the needs analysis from the students and Physics teachers regarding the Android-based ethnophysics learning media, which incorporates traditional dances from North Maluku for the Physics subject, indicate that such media is indeed needed by both students and Physics teachers at SMA N 4 Ternate.
