Abstract

This study aims to reveal the perceptions and needs of pre-service biology teachers on biotechnology learning and their need for instructional media, especially on the topic of basic molecular biology techniques. This descriptive quantitative study was done purposively on 42 students who have completed the biotechnology lectures in Biology Education Program, Universitas Negeri Malang. The data collection instruments consisted of a biotechnology topic difficulty survey questionnaire and a felt needs questionnaire. The questionnaire response data analyzed using descriptive statistics showed that students perceived the laboratory activity of basic molecular biology techniques as a moderate level. On average, all students performed DNA analysis techniques, and only 55% of all students performed protein analysis techniques. Overall, students have feelings, understanding, and confidence at a moderate level, while they feel they have excellent learning assistance. Even so, students feel they need learning resources in the form of research-based multimedia to support learning on the topic of practicum on molecular biology analysis techniques, especially in protein analysis techniques. Research-based protein analysis techniques multimedia that is suitable for students' university cognitive development are considered to be developed in supporting biotechnology learning for pre-service biology teachers.
