The laboratory skills of pre-service physics teacher need to be improved, especially for first-year students. Students in the first level need a primary material that will be useful in conducting activities in the laboratory. Because as a potential physics teacher, pre-services are required to have good basic skills to apply for the next level nicely. One of the materials that must be mastered by students is related to measurement systems including knowledge of the types of measuring instruments, physics units, and how to use the measuring tool. The research based on this mixed method will explain the value of the students' needs in the first level of the measurement material in the laboratory. The resulting data is in the form of quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative data include survey results related to the material requirements of the measurement system for students, while the qualitative data includes the results of interviews with the students about the extent of their knowledge in laboratory activities. The results of the data analysis show the teaching materials needed to improve the students' knowledge of the measurement field. Further data analysis results will be used to develop textbooks relevant to the needs of students in the material of measurement systems. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
