Analysis of the Need for P3-Based BIPA Teaching Materials for KPDI Comprehension Reading Skills in Mindanao, Philippines

This study aims to describe the condition of the teaching materials of the Indonesian Basic Education Course (KPDI) and the needs of BIPA (Indonesian for Foreign Speakers) teaching materials for KPDI students in Mindanao, Philippines. This research method is a descriptive research type in the initial stage of defining the 4D model development research. Data collection techniques include interviews, non-participant observations, and literature studies. Interviews were conducted with students, teachers of the Indonesian School of Davao (SID), and staff of the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia (KJRI) Davao City. The results of the study showed that the main obstacles were the limited availability of relevant teaching materials and the lack of tutors with a strong Indonesian background. Reading comprehension skills, especially vocabulary, need to be improved. Priority topics of teaching materials include introductions, home environment, transportation, and school activities. Teaching materials must be easily accessible, independently studied, and interesting, and integrate the values ​​of the Pancasila Student Profile (P3) to strengthen Indonesian values. This is important for students who will continue their education at the Indonesian School Abroad (SILN). These findings highlight the need for contextual, accessible BIPA materials relevant to students’ environments and integrated with Pancasila values to support language skills and global readiness.
