Abstract
Understanding the needs are one of the learning success determinants that can assist in an efficient and targeted learning process. The more parties who participate resulted the more comprehensive understanding of it. We aim to identify multiparty needs for the lab rotation model to fostering computational and critical thinking skills. Participants were 49 students, 3 graduates, 3 instructors, and 1 management representative. Data was gathered through interviews on the use of blended learning at each station of rotation model. While the questionnaire was only for students. We noticed that: (1) statistics learning strategy emphasizes teacher-centered and face-to-face learning. (2) incorporating a range of activities is critical since it keeps students interested, greater than single activities, and less stressful. (3) computational thinking could be improved by using step-by-step instruction, creating connections between each material component, and using a flowchart or mind mapping. Meanwhile, the critical thinking could be improved by conducting spontaneous exams, asking student involvement, rewarding them, etc. While descriptive analysis revealed that students tend to agree, 92% (45) that the lab rotation model activity should be employed, while 4% (2) disagreed. Student expected that needing more learning activities and rewarding. It means, learning activities using the lab rotation model meet the participants needs, which consists of initial learning station (ILS), traditional learning station (TLS), individual practice station (IPS), group learning station (GLS), and final learning station (FLS). In response, the learning process can employ the lab rotation model.
