A NEEDS ANALYSIS FOR DEVELOPING THE SUDAWIL E-MODULE FOR MORAL VALUES EDUCATION WITHIN THE SADDIECT FRAMEWORK

This study was conducted to analyse the need for developing the sudawil e-module for moral values education based on the SADDIECT framework. A quantitative research design using a questionnaire was employed. A total of 44 Kadazandusun language teachers teaching upper primary pupils in the Ranau and Kota Marudu districts were selected as respondents through simple random sampling. The research instrument used was a needs analysis questionnaire for the development of the sudawil e-module for moral values education in accordance with the SADDIECT framework. Data were analysed descriptively using SPSS version 26. The findings revealed that the majority of respondents agreed on the need to develop the sudawil e-module to meet the needs of upper primary pupils who still struggle to understand both the explicit and implicit meanings, as well as the values embedded in sudawil (traditional folk songs). Most respondents also agreed that the use of audio aids enhances pupils’ knowledge acquisition of sudawil, with a mean score of 4.55. Furthermore, the interactive features of the e-module and the feedback provided through practice activities were also identified as helpful in enhancing pupils’ understanding of sudawil, with both items recording a mean score of 4.41.The development of the sudawil e-module for moral values education based on the SADDIECT framework is identified as a key variable in the teaching approaches and methods used by Kadazandusun language teachers, encompassing classroom instruction, context, process, and learning outcomes.
