Abstract

This study is motivated by the lack of adequate teaching materials, which leads to students struggling to understand the learning material, feeling bored during lessons, and finding the teaching materials unattractive. Additionally, students tend to have an audio-visual learning style. Therefore, it is necessary to develop teaching materials that can assist students in the learning process, enhancing their understanding of the IPAS (Science, Social Science, and Arts) subject. The aim of this study is to produce a valid, practical, and effective e-module for Book Creator in the Merdeka Curriculum on the topic "Plants as the Source of Life on Earth" for Grade 4 elementary school students.
