Background: The separation between science and religion in Indonesian education often leads to fragmented knowledge and limited value integration. In physics, especially on the topic of light, teaching materials rarely include Qur’anic perspectives. This study developed and validated a physics module based on the integration–interconnection paradigm using the complementation model.
Methods: A Research and Development (R&D) approach with a 3-D model (Define, Design, Develop) was applied. Validation involved content, media, integration–interconnection experts, and practicing teachers. Student responses were obtained from limited and extensive trials, with data analyzed using descriptive statistics.
Results: The module was rated very good by content experts (92.33%), media experts (90.90%), integration–interconnection experts (84.17%), and teachers (97.33%), with an overall score of 92.27%. Student responses in both trials also indicated high acceptance, confirming the module’s classroom applicability.
Conclusions: The module effectively bridges scientific and Qur’anic perspectives while supporting active learning. It is feasible as an alternative teaching material for junior high schools and can serve as a replicable prototype for integrating cultural and spiritual values into physics learning. Future studies should expand this approach to other physics topics.
