This article discusses a preliminary study on student characteristics analysis and needs analysis in physics of learning. At SMAN 1 Lengayang, as a preliminary study. This preliminary research was conducted to evaluate student characteristics which are intended to study student characteristics and analyze the need to assess the teacher's response to physics learning activities. This research uses descriptive statistical methods. The findings of the student characteristics analysis showed an analysis of the characteristics of the students, which consisted of several measures of the student competency results which were quite good, good initial motivation, good learning incentive, media and language formats with a better enough plan and good enough encouragement In addition, needs analysis consisting of graduation requirements and learning metrics reveals the outcomes of each with sufficient criteria. To improve students' creativity, it can be done by applying an inquiry-based learning model. Learners will more easily understand the learning material if the material is in accordance with their daily lives. Therefore, a suitable approach used in the development of Inquiry Based teaching materials is the CTL approach. By using appropriate teaching materials, it will be able to develop the abilities of students so that learning will be meaningful, and can improve students' creative thinking abilities. Therefore, Improvements must be made, namely by designing teaching materials that focus on inquiry-based learning models with integrated CTL approaches for innovative physics learning skills. © 2020, IJSTR.
