Definition of Needs

Everyone must have needs in their lives, because without a need they don’t have a reason to do something, a need has been described as:

• A gap between “what is” and “what should be.” (Witkin et al., 1995)
• “A gap between real and ideal that is both acknowledged by community values and potentially amenable to change.” (Reviere, 1996, p. 5)
• May be different from such related concepts as wants (“something people are willing to pay for”) or demands (“something people are willing to march for”). (McKillip, 1987)

Definition of Needs Analysis

Needs analysis is a Systematic process to acquire an accurate, thorough picture of the weaknesses and strengths of a school group that can be used in response to the academic and course needs of all students for improving student achievement and meeting challenging academic and course standards. Process that collects and examines information about achievement issues and then utilizes that data to determine priority goals, to develop a plan, and to allocate funds and resources (Eva M Kubinski, M.S. Comprehensive Regional Assistance Center – Region VI South Dakota Title I Schoolwide Conference September 27, 1999).

There are some others definition of needs Analysis, such as:

“All effective training begins with needs analysis. The training needs survey measures what skills employees have, what they need, and how to deliver the right training at the right time.” (American Society of Training and Development)

“A Needs analysis is a systematic exploration of the way things are and the way they should be. These “things” are usually associated with organizational and/or individual performance.” (D. Stout, Performance Analysis for Training, 1995)

“Needs analysis is an examination of the existing need for training within an organization. It is a gathering of data that enables you to make an informed estimate of the changes desired or demanded by those organizations.” (Stuart Dalziel, Planning and Managing Training and Development)

“The word ‘assess’ comes from the Latin term ‘assidere’ which means to ‘sit beside.’ Process-minded and participatory-oriented adult educators “sit beside” learners to learn about their proficiencies and backgrounds, educational goals, and expected outcomes, immersing themselves in the lives and views of their students.” (E. Auerbach, Making Meaning, Making Change, 1994)

“Needs analysis is performed to determine what training will successfully address any skill deficits.” (Cornell, Technology Training Services)

“Needs Analysis is a process used anytime someone carefully asks the question ‘How can I find out what is really happening’ (or needed; at the root of the problem; missing; etc.)?” (Cornell, Needs Analysis Tips and Techniques)

“Data gathering methods by themselves are not a needs analysis. The needs analysis process has to result in decision-making for the process to be complete.” (University of Virginia)

“Needs analysis and needs analysis are interchangeable and have the same purpose and meaning: to assess and analyze. The purpose is to ensure that there is a need for training and to identify the nature of the content of the training program.” (AMX, Training Needs Analysis)

Need Analysis is the process of evaluating and identifying needs in a group or other defined population of people. The needs identification is a process of describing problems of a target population and relevant solutions to these problems.

Need analysis focuses on the future, or what should be done, rather than on what was done as is the most program evaluations focus on (ICYF Evaluation Concept Sheet Spring 2000, The University of Arizona Prepared by Allison L. Titcomb, Ph.D).

From all definitions above, the writer define needs analysis is a process to identifying a need for determining the target of a program or organization, needs analysis can be conducted by evaluating a program and also observe the object of the program’s needs.

Demikianlah Definisi Needs dan Needs Analysis yang saya dapat dari beberapa referensi.
