The development of 21st-century competencies requires learning that The development of 21st-century competencies requires learning approaches that foster students' critical thinking skills and scientific literacy in addition to conceptual understanding. However, these competencies remain relatively low in physics education, highlighting the need for innovative technology-enhanced learning media. This study aimed to develop and validate a Smartphone Sensor-Assisted Physics EduKit and investigate its effects on students' critical thinking skills and scientific literacy in learning sound waves while examining students' digital motivation during its implementation. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model. The developed media were validated by a media expert, a material expert, and a physics teacher. Its effectiveness was evaluated using a One-Group Pretest–Posttest Design involving eleventh-grade students. Data were collected through validation sheets, critical thinking skills and scientific literacy tests, and a digital motivation questionnaire. The results indicated that the developed media was categorized as very feasible, significantly improved students' critical thinking skills and scientific literacy, and was associated with high levels of digital motivation. These findings suggest that the Smartphone Sensor-Assisted Physics EduKit is a feasible and effective technology-enhanced learning medium for supporting the development of 21st-century competencies in physics education.
