Teachers' Difficulties in Developing Learning Resources

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the main problems faced by teachers in developing learning resources, and to provide recommendations for these problems. A qualitative descriptive approach was used. This study’s paticipants were recruited randomly, and included 55 teachers of SMP, SMA, and SLB. Data were collected through an online survey with a digital questionnaire instrument. Data analysis was carried out through three steps: data reduction, data presentation, and concluding. The results showed that there are three main problems that teachers face in developing learning resources: 1) the technical ability to use tools and devices to create digital learning resources; 2) the strategy of organizing learning materials to be applied to learning resources; and 3) the lack of skills in managing learning materials to be applied to digital learning resources. Based on these findings, it is recommended that teachers collaborate with educational technologists who are masters of learning resource development.
