Abstract

Availability of integrated science teaching materials for understanding concepts and issues sustainability Still become needs at school basic research This developing e- IPAS modules based on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) on the material cycle and creature life, as well as analyzes feasibility and attractiveness. Research method: Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE model, which includes analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Validation involved six validators, while the trial was conducted on 15 students of class III E, 32 students of class III B, and two teachers in one madrasah. Data were collected through expert validation sheets and questionnaires of educator and student responses. The results showed an average expert validation of 89.00% with the very feasible category, covering 90.62% of material, 88.12% of media, and 88.27% of language. The educator response reached 86.10%, while the product's attractiveness was 91.73% in small groups and 92.62% in field trials. The product is suitable for use as a companion teaching material for sustainability-based science and education.
