Rendahnya literasi matematis siswa serta keterbatasan bahan ajar interaktif yang mampu mengintegrasikan pendekatan Problem-Based Learning pada materi Teorema Pythagoras menjadi dasar pengembangan e-modul berbasis Problem Based Learning (PBL) yang bertujuan untuk menguji tingkat validitas, kepraktisan, dan efektivitasnya dalam meningkatkan literasi matematika siswa melalui penelitian Research and Development (R&D) dengan model pengembangan 4D yang meliputi tahap define, design, dan development. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada semester ganjil tahun ajaran 2024/2025 di SMP Negeri Kaburu No.35 Kabupaten Kepulauan Selayar dengan subjek penelitian siswa kelas VIII. Instrumen penelitian meliputi angket validasi ahli, lembar observasi keterlaksanaan pembelajaran, serta tes literasi matematika siswa. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan meliputi analisis deskriptif, uji N-Gain, uji normalitas, dan uji hipotesis menggunakan One Sample T-Test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa e-modul yang dikembangkan memenuhi kriteria valid (skor rata-rata 3,75) yang menandakan kelayakan isi dan kesesuaian materi. Kepraktisan e-modul tergolong sangat baik (92,31%), yang menunjukkan bahwa e-modul mudah digunakan dan mendukung keterlaksanaan pembelajaran secara optimal. Efektivitas e-modul tercermin dari peningkatan kemampuan literasi matematika siswa dari kategori rendah (rata-rata pretest 38,33) menjadi lebih tinggi (posttest 74,99), dengan nilai N-Gain 0,6972 yang menunjukkan peningkatan pada tingkat sedang. Selain itu, hasil uji hipotesis (sig. 0,000 < 0,05) mengindikasikan bahwa penggunaan e-modul secara signifikan meningkatkan literasi matematika siswa. Dengan demikian, e-modul Teorema Pythagoras berbasis Problem Based Learning yang dikembangkan dinyatakan valid, praktis, dan efektif dalam meningkatkan literasi matematika siswa. E-modul ini berpotensi untuk diimplementasikan secara lebih luas dan dikembangkan pada materi matematika lainnya guna meningkatkan literasi matematika siswa secara berkelanjutan.References
