ABSTRACT:
This study was conducted to develop an interactive e-module as a teaching material to enhance students' critical thinking skills. Therefore, a preliminary study consisting of a literature review and field study was necessary. The teaching material developed is an Interactive E-Module for science learning. The purpose of this study is to analyze the need for teaching materials in the form of an Interactive E-Module for Science Learning in Phase D to improve students' critical thinking skills. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach. The data collection instruments include a teacher needs analysis interview questionnaire, a student needs analysis questionnaire, and the average critical thinking skills score. The results indicate that the average critical thinking skills score is relatively low, with an achievement percentage of 43.55%. While 95.6% of students have a textbook for learning, 53% of them stated that the textbook is insufficient as a learning resource. Additionally, 67.3% of students expressed the need for additional learning materials that can support learning activities and be easily understood independently. These findings highlight the necessity of developing an Interactive E-Module for science learning to enhance students' critical thinking skills.
