Education in the digital era requires innovative learning, especially in informatics, which develops critical thinking, problem-solving, and digital literacy. However, many schools, including SMA Negeri 2 Pasaman, struggle to provide relevant teaching materials. This study analyzes students' learning needs through a quantitative survey of 98 tenth-grade students. Results show that lectures (31%) and printed books (80%) dominate learning, while students prefer interactive materials with clear content, exercises, images, videos, and animations. The findings highlight the gap between available materials and students’ needs, emphasizing the need for more innovative, engaging, and relevant teaching resources.
