<![CDATA[Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) learning in the Independent Curriculum is expected to develop students' critical thinking, problem-solving, and civic reasoning skills. However, the results of the 2022 PISA (Philosophy of Science and Social Sciences) test show that Indonesian students' scientific literacy is still below the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development average. Furthermore, IPAS learning in elementary schools is still dominated by lecture-based, teacher-centered, and textbook-dependent methods, thus not optimally developing students' analytical and decision-making skills regarding environmental issues. This study aims to analyze the urgency of developing a flipbook e-module based on Problem-Based Learning as an alternative innovative teaching material to strengthen students' civic reasoning skills in the topic of the Impact of Human Activities on the Environment. The method used is the ADDIE model in the first stage, namely Analysis. Data analysis was obtained from questionnaires, interviews, and learning observations. The findings indicate that the flipbook e-module has many advantages according to the needs of students and teachers. Meanwhile, the PBL model can facilitate students in identifying problems, analyzing information, and making decisions based on evidence. Previous research also shows that the development of PBL-based flipbook e-modules at the elementary school level still focuses on improving learning outcomes, while civic reasoning skills have received little attention. Therefore, the development of PBL-based flipbook e-modules oriented toward civic reasoning is a potential innovation to support more contextual, interactive, and meaningful science learning.]]>
