Abstract
This research is motivated by students' limited critical thinking skills in the learning process. Science instruction in schools still relies on conventional methods, fails to engage students actively, lacks a variety of teaching materials, and lacks a connection to local wisdom. The mismatch between 21st-century learning needs and suboptimal learning practices demands innovative teaching materials that can stimulate critical thinking. The purpose of this study was to determine the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of a PBL-based science module incorporating local wisdom. This study employed a research and development method with the ADDIE model. The data analysis technique employed was quantitative analysis, which included conducting validity tests, practicality tests, and effectiveness tests. The results of the validity test obtained a percentage of 90.78%, categorized as very valid. The practicality of the science module achieved a readability test score of 80.36% and a large-class test score of 80.42%, both of which are categorized as practical. The effectiveness of the science module in improving students' critical thinking skills achieved an n-gain score of 0.60, categorized as moderate. The science module, developed based on problem-based learning with local wisdom content, is suitable for use because it meets the criteria of being valid, practical, and effective.
