ABSTRACT
This research aims to describe the validity and practicality of a teaching module, as well as to determine the effectiveness of a differentiated teaching module. The study was conducted in Class VII of SMP State 11 Gorontalo Junior High School, Gorontalo City, involving 32 students. The developed module refers to the Research and Development (R&D) method, with the ADDIE model employed as the development framework. The resulting products include a teaching module, student worksheets (LKPD), and a learning outcome test. Data collection was carried out using validation sheets, lesson implementation sheets, student activity sheets, creative thinking tests, and student response questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed by calculating the percentage of each obtained score. The validators assigned a validity score of 95.7 for the teaching module, 95.3 for the LKPD, and 96 for the learning outcome tests. The results showed that the average score for implementing teacher activities was 95.15, categorized as very good. Student activities were also categorized as "very good," with an average score of 94.07. Student response results indicated a very good category, with 69.82% strongly agreeing and 30.18% agreeing. Students' creative thinking skills were measured using the normalized gain (n-gain), which fell into the "moderate" category with a score of 0.42. The analysis of the creative thinking test also showed improvement across all indicators of creative thinking.
