Background: Indonesian students’ reading comprehension proficiency remains a critical challenge, as evidenced by Indonesia’s ranking of 71st among 81 participating countries and economies in PISA 2022, with a reading score of 359, substantially below the OECD average.
Objective: This study presents a needs analysis as the foundational phase in developing an interactive augmented reality (AR) module based on Ethno-Meaningful Learning to improve senior high school students’ reading comprehension of observation report texts.
Methods: Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and document analysis involving nine Indonesian language teachers and 34 students at SMA Pembangunan Padang.
Results: The results reveal significant gaps between current learning conditions and ideal learning requirements: (1) 88.9% of teachers still rely on conventional, text-based instruction; (2) 82.5% of students find reading lessons unmotivating; (3) 94.1% of students have never experienced AR-based learning; and (4) 100% of teachers confirmed the absence of interactive digital modules integrating local Minangkabau culture. A gap analysis across five dimensions (methods, media, content, technology, and literacy) confirms the urgent need for an innovative, culturally grounded, and technology-enabled learning solution.
Conclusion: These findings substantiate the need to develop an interactive AR-based module that integrates Ethno-Meaningful Learning principles to enhance students’ literal, inferential, and critical comprehension of observation report texts. This study contributes a culturally grounded and empirically validated framework for developing AR-based reading modules, thereby advancing the integration of ethnopedagogy and educational technology into Indonesian language instruction.

Project-Based Learning (PBL) has gained substantial empirical support as an instructional model capable of fostering student engagement, higher-order thinking, and authentic communicative competence, yet its systematic adoption in Bahasa Indonesia instruction at the senior secondary level remains limited. This study conducted a comprehensive needs analysis to map the conditions, gaps, and stakeholder requirements preceding PBL implementation in Bahasa Indonesia classrooms at SMA Pembangunan Padang, West Sumatera, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative descriptive design with a needs analysis framework, data were collected from three Bahasa Indonesia teachers, sixty students from Grades X and XI, and one school principal through in-depth interviews, unstructured classroom observation, a needs analysis questionnaire, and a focus group discussion. Data analysis followed Miles et al.'s interactive model, with trustworthiness established through source and method triangulation. Findings reveal four interconnected dimensions of need: teachers require subject-specific PBL implementation guidance and sustained professional development; students demonstrate strong preferences for contextual, collaborative, and product-oriented learning experiences; the school's infrastructure provides an adequate but improvable baseline; and the existing assessment system is structurally misaligned with the holistic evaluation demands of PBL. These findings collectively indicate that PBL adoption at SMA Pembangunan Padang is motivationally feasible but requires coordinated reform across pedagogy, assessment design, and institutional support. The study contributes a multi-dimensional needs analysis framework applicable to Bahasa Indonesia instruction within the Merdeka Curriculum context.
