This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of STEMQ-based e-modules in improving students' science literacy at Madrasah Aliyah Al-Ihsan Kalijaring, Jombang. The method used is a pre-experiment with a pretest-posttest design on a single group, involving eleventh-grade students as the sample. Data was collected through a science literacy test that measured students' understanding of optical material before and after using the STEMQ-based e-module. The results showed that the use of the STEMQ-based e-module can improve students' science literacy, particularly in understanding scientific concepts related to optical material. Additionally, the integration of Qur'anic values into the e-module had a positive impact on strengthening students' religious character, supporting holistic learning. The study also found that while most students showed improvement, there was variation in the results, indicating the need for more attention to students with lower science literacy abilities. Overall, the STEMQ-based e-module was proven effective in improving science literacy in the pesantren environment and can serve as a relevant learning medium for 21st-century educational needs. This study contributes to the development of STEM-based learning that integrates religious values in pesantren education.

Printed teaching materials are still relevant to be used as learning resources for students. Through this research we analyze the effect of printed modules on students’ cognitive learning outcomes in plant physiology courses. We used the one-shot case study method involving 12 students taking plant physiology courses in the 2024/2025 academic year. The cognitive learning outcomes used as data are mid-semester and final semester exam scores. Data analysis was carried out by sign test. The significance level used is 5%, H₀ is rejected if the calculated value is smaller than the table value. H₀ in this research is that there is no effect of using printed modules on student cognitive learning outcomes. The sign test results show that the calculated h value is greater than the table h value, so H₀ is accepted. The use of printed modules did not affect students’ cognitive learning outcomes in this study.

This research aims to analyze the use of the Missouri Mathematics Project learning model integrated with culture in enhancing learning motivation. The instruments used in this study are teaching modules, Jombangan batik projects, tests, and questionnaires. The subjects of the research were 32 students from SMPN 2 Perak. The research results show that Missouri Mathematics Project learning integrated with culture has a positive impact on increasing students' learning motivation. The conclusion is based on the results of the pre-test and post-test T-tests, where the significant value obtained, 0.000, is smaller than the error margin used, which is 0.05. The test results also showed high scores as a sign of increased student learning motivation.
