Abstract

The development of open materials is necessary to improve their The
Development of teaching materials is necessary to improve student
understanding. However, the existing teaching materials still have
shortcomings, meaning they do not fully support the learning process in
learning media courses. These weaknesses can be in the form of learning
information presented that is not detailed, both in terms of material and
visualization, or that some teaching materials are presented in a foreign
language and are difficult to understand. Seeing these problems, the aim of
this research is to analyze the needs for CASE-based teaching materials
(Creative, Active, Systematic and Effective) in improving students' problem
solving and creative abilities in learning media courses. CASE (Creative,
Active, Systematic and Effective) is intended to help students creatively,
actively, systematically and effectively, resulting in successful achievement
of learning objectives. In this situation, creativity refers to the ability to
develop unique teaching materials that can motivate students to learn. The
definition of creative thinking is the ability to create new correlations
between various aspects, analyze them, and use conclusions to solve
problems in certain learning. The subjects of this research are students of
the Biology Education study program, Department of Biology, Medan State
University class of 2020. The sample was randomly selected as many as 30
students. This research is a qualitative descriptive research oriented
towards the development of a product. Data collection was carried out
using interview sheets, observation sheets and questionnaires.
