Abstract
Trigonometry is one of supporting material for other courses, such as integral calculus, multivariable calculus, advanced calculus, algebraic structure, and differential equations. As a matter of fact, a trigonometric theory is an abstract material that is difficult to understand because not all students are familiar with the material. To copewith it, it is necessary to have a clear description of student needs in trigonometric learning so that the material learned effectively. The method used to obtain the description is need-analysis that use observation techniques and interviews with students as the object. The results are the students' way of thinking is not schematic yet with learning methods that use expository and monotonous methods, makes student motivation in trigonometric learning low so that reasoning ability and concept comprehension are also low. In conclusion, the needs of students in trigonometric learning are the innovative methods or learning media that can increase motivation and reasoning abilities and understanding the concepts.
