Needs Analysis of Teaching Materials Poetry Appreciation for Kuningan University Students

Abstract

. This study aims to determine the need for teaching materials in the poetry appreciation course in Kuningan University. The results of the preliminary study stated that the value of the poetry appreciation course was below the average value of the appreciation of fiction and drama. This is because the poetry appreciation course is a difficult subject. The reasons stated why poetry appreciation is difficult include the character of the language of poetry which is relatively different from prose, the process and stages of poetry appreciation which are complex, and teaching materials that are not in accordance with learning outcomes. The inadequacy of teaching materials is caused by the limited number of teaching materials for poetry appreciation. Puspita, Andayani, Waluyo, and Rohmadi also expressed the teaching materials for poetry appreciation (2017: 622-623). The results of their research stated that the results of the survey of poetry appreciation textbooks used by universities in Central Java were still minimal. The books used in six universities in Central Java are the Pengkajian dan Apresiasi Puisi, Pengkajian Puisi, Berkenalan dengan Puisi, Stilistika, dan Wacana Musikalisasi . Based on this background, the focus in this study is to analyze the needs of poetry appreciation teaching materials (needs, lacks, want) for students at the Kuningan University.
