Furthermore, this study also explored changes in the way teachers teach and students' learning process between pre-pandemic and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The method in this research was quantitative descriptive analysis. The data were collected from five physics teachers and 137 students from SMAN 3 Pati. The percentage of digital module needs from teachers was 90% and from students was 67%. It indicated that teachers and students agreed with the development of a digital android web application module based on flipped classroom during the COVID-19 pandemic as Physics teaching material. The results of this study indicated that physics teachers and students at SMAN 3 Pati needed the Flipped Classroom-based Android Digital Web Module during the COVID-19 pandemic and required to be followed up as showed by the need analysis.
