Abstract

Students' scientific literacy is important to develop so that students are able to understand phenomena and use scientific knowledge when dealing with everyday-life problems. Adiwiyata schools have potential as contextual learning environments, but teaching materials that integratively connect scientific literacy, technology, and Adiwiyata activities remain limited. This study aims to produce a science learning module integrated with Augmented Reality (AR) and Adiwiyata Projects that is valid and practical for supporting junior high school students' scientific literacy. The study employed Educational Design Research using the Plomp model. Module validity was analyzed using Aiken's V, while practicality was obtained through one-to-one evaluation and small group evaluation. The validation results yielded an average Aiken's V of 0.92, categorized as very valid. The practicality test results showed that the module was in the very practical category. Thus, the science learning module integrated with AR and Adiwiyata Projects is valid and practical for use as teaching material to support students' scientific literacy.
