Intensive use of online learning is required in the age of COVID-19 pandemic as all teaching and learning activities had to be done at home. The use of educational social sites such as Edmodo can meet this need, where it has been proven to increase student interest, motivation, collaboration and student achievement. However, not many Edmodo-based module development studies have been conducted, let alone modules that emphasize students’ science process skills (SPS), essential in producing science-literate individuals. This study was conducted to identify the need for module development to facilitate teachers to plan activities that implement SPS among students using Edmodo. Difficult themes in form 2 science were also identified. To achieve these objectives, a survey was conducted, and questionnaires were distributed to 51 form two students and 33 science teachers in secondary schools in Negeri Sembilan. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics such as percentage and frequency. Form 2 science themes that are difficult for the students are Force and Motion, followed by Heat and then Electricity and Magnetism. The findings also show that teachers and students think that online modules can help improve students’ SPS mastery. The analysis also shows that both teachers and students frequently use information and communication technology, the internet and social media for learning purposes or to communicate online. The findings indicate a need for the development of Edmodo-based Science Modules to implement student SPS. With this study, it is hoped that it will help researchers develop Edmodo-based modules based on the needs of teachers and students, thereby helping teachers implement SPS better online.
