The data collection technique is the questionnaire and analysis method. The results showed that a teacher in designing or compiling teaching materials greatly determines that the teaching materials used by teachers in the teaching and learning process still need development by looking at various aspects, in order to help students in the teaching and learning process. Still, most teachers have not compiled teaching materials with various factors that cause it. Teachers still have to develop according to the needs and principles in the preparation of teaching materials. Most learners prefer teaching materials that have many images and colors to increase their interest and motivation. Students still need to develop activeness, creativity, and collaboration with their friends through the teaching materials they use. From this analysis, it is necessary to examine the needs of teaching materials that facilitate students to think at a higher level with 4C competencies (Critical Thinking, Creative Thinking, Collaboration, and Communication) in accordance with 21st-century learning with TPACK rules that can improve the ability of students.
