Abstract

In the context of 21st-century education, students are required to master a range of skills, one of which is creative thinking. This study conducted a needs analysis to guide the development of STEM-R-based teaching modules on the topic of renewable energy. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through document analysis (the Ministry of Religious Affairs’ vision and mission, the curriculum, and textbooks) as well as semi-structured interviews with education stakeholders. The results reveal a significant gap: although the Ministry of Religious Affairs’ vision emphasises holistic education and religious character, existing science teaching materials have not explicitly integrated Islamic values. The religious dimension (R) is entirely absent from the topic of renewable energy, even though stakeholders consistently emphasise the urgency of madrasah-specific teaching materials that contextualise science from an Islamic perspective. This study concludes that a STEM-R module on the topic of renewable energy is urgently needed. These findings indicate both the need for and potential direction of module development, which could serve as a basis for the design of future teaching materials to align with the Ministry of Religious Affairs’ educational philosophy.

Abstract

Science education in madrasahs requires modules that are scientifically sound and also integrated with Islamic values. However, the modules currently available generally do not systematically integrate the STEM-R approach, nor have they been validated through multidisciplinary assessment. This study aims to assess the content validity of PjBL STEM-R module on renewable energy topic for MTs students. The study uses a quantitative descriptive content validation, involving nine validators from three groups, namely science content experts, teacher practitioners, and religious experts. Data using a 1–5 Likert scale were analyzed using Aiken's V coefficient. The results showed an average Aiken's V of 0.90, with all components (content feasibility, PjBL, creative thinking, religious integration) categorized as Valid (V ≥ 0.83). The religious expert group gave the highest rating (0.92), confirming that the integration of Islamic values was carried out organically, contextually, and theologically appropriate. The findings prove that the module is suitable for use as teaching material that is valid in terms of content and context in a madrasah environment. This validation is an important foundation before wider implementation or testing of its effectiveness in improving students' creative thinking and religious attitudes.
