In order to encourage students' creative thinking regarding static fluid material, this study aims to assess the need for physics e-modules based on the Dual Space Inquiry framework. This research employs a development (R&D) methodology using the Dick and Carey instructional design model. Descriptive quantitative data analysis was used in the study. The results showed that students’ creative thinking abilities were still categorized as low, with an average percentage of 24.22%. Observations revealed that the learning approach used had not effectively encouraged students’ creative thinking, and that teachers were still relying on print-based instructional resources. Furthermore, based on a questionnaire completed by students, static fluid was identified as a topic that is difficult for them to understand. In light of these issues, there is a need for teaching materials that are both technology-based and capable of stimulating students' creative thinking skills. Therefore, the researchers propose a physics e-module based on the Dual Space Inquiry framework as a solution to enhance students’ creative thinking in learning static fluid material.

Education in the 21^stcentury requires students to have the ability to adapt, think critically, and creatively, which is in line with the direction of the Merdeka Curriculum which emphasizes mastery of essential competencies and the formation of the Pancasila Student Profile. However, preliminary findings at SMAN 1 Lembah Gumanti indicate that there are still various obstacles in the physics learning process, especially on sound waves. These obstacles include the low use of technology-based teaching materials such as e-modules, not optimal application of ethnoscience and meaningful learning approaches, and the lack of creative thinking skills and conceptual understanding of students. Through a descriptive statistical approach, this study maps the factual conditions of learning in the school. The results of the analysis showed that the teaching materials used were still dominated by printed versions that were less attractive and did not support the development of 21^st century skills. The average score of students' knowledge reached 64.9%, while creative thinking skills were still relatively low with an average score of 50.8%. On the other hand, teachers have not fully integrated local cultural values through the ethnoscience approach or optimally applied the meaningful learning approach in the learning process. These facts emphasize the need for learning innovation through the development of physics e-modules integrated with ethnoscience and meaningful learning approaches to improve learning quality.

This research intends to examine how Problem-Based Learning (PBL)-based e-modules influence students' problem-solving skills regarding heat and heat transfer concepts. The study was driven by the inadequate problem-solving abilities noted in students at SMAN 2 Koto XI Tarusan, mainly because of the prevalence of expository teaching techniques and the constraints of traditional learning resources. A quantitative method utilizing a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design was utilized. The sample comprised 60 Grade XI students split into two groups: one group utilized PBL-based e-modules, whereas the other group employed traditional materials. Data were gathered through pretests and posttests consisting of essay questions. The Mann-Whitney U test was utilized because the data did not follow a normal distribution. Findings showed a notable difference in problem-solving skills between the two groups. The experimental group demonstrated a significant rise in the average score of the posttest (77.10) in contrast to the pretest (40.03), whereas the control group saw a slight increase from 44.00 to 58.07. Enhancements were noted in all problem-solving metrics. Analysis of data using the Mann-Whitney test indicated a statistically significant difference in problem-solving abilities between the experimental group and the control group. The findings from the Mann-Whitney test showed a significance level of <0.05, thereby underscoring a significant impact of the use of project-based learning (PBL) e-modules on improving students' problem-solving skills specifically concerning heat and thermal transfer. This methodological framework has demonstrated success in tackling current challenges, aligning with the requirements of 21st-century skills and the implementation of the Independent Curriculum.
