Abstract
This study aims to develop a digital learning module for the Engineering Physics course in the Department of Mechanical Engineering Education, Universitas Negeri Medan. The learning process has traditionally been lecture-based, limiting student engagement and critical thinking. In line with the Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) curriculum, students are expected to produce Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)-oriented outputs. This research employed the Dick and Carey model of instructional design in three stages: planning and formulation of objectives, module development, and formative evaluation. The module was validated by experts in materials, media, and instructional design, and further tested through one-to-one, small group, and field trials. Results indicate the module is feasible and effective, improving student learning outcomes by 81.92% as shown by the difference between pre-test and post-test scores. The developed digital module can serve as an innovative teaching material to enhance student-centered learning in engineering education.
