This study employs the Research and Development (R&D) method, utilizing the ADDIE model, which comprises five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The subjects of the study were students of class XI IPA at SMA Negeri 1 Hawu Mehara. The instruments used included validation sheets by material experts and design experts, teacher and student response questionnaires, and critical thinking tests conducted before and after using the module (pretest and posttest).The validation results showed that this local wisdom-based physics learning module fell into the feasible category, with scores 78% from material experts and 85% from design experts. The module was also considered practical by teachers and students in small and large group tests. Additionally, the module proved effective in enhancing students' critical thinking skills, with an average N-Gain value of 0.7, which falls within the moderate category.
