Abstract

Students’ geometric thinking abilities in geometry lectures are in the low category. The cause of aim of this research is to determine students’ needs in learning geometry to improve the geometry learning process so that they can improve geometric thinking abilities. This research is qualitative, with the research subjects being students of the Mathematics Education Study Program at one of the Universities in Semarang. Data collection techniques at this stage are observation, questionnaires, and interviews. Needs analysis is carried out based on aspects of the learning process: objectives, materials, methods and strategies, textbooks, learning media, and learning evaluation. Observations were made during the geometry learning process. Questionnaires were given to students to obtain data regarding needs in geometry courses. To learn more deeply about students’ needs in geometry courses, in-depth interviews were conducted with several students randomly. The research results show that harmony between objectives, implementation of the material presented, learning strategies, media, textbooks, and learning evaluation must be harmonious. Based on these results, improving the learning process to optimize students’ geometric thinking abilities is necessary.
