Education is essential for helping students realise their full potential to stay up with the times. There is a process of teaching and learning in education. The learning process involves instructional resources, with handouts constituting one such item. Handouts are learning activities based on various relevant sources to aid students in comprehending the primary subject matter to be studied to attain the desired fundamental abilities. This research intends to design a viable handout for the Raden Sekar Forest, Madiun Regency, using Problem-Based Learning on Ecosystem Materials for class X. The study was conducted utilising research and development (R&D) techniques, and the development research model employed was ADDIE, which consisted of 5 processes but only required 3: (1) analyse, (2) design, and (3) develop. The study’s outcomes include the evaluations of the three validators, with a validity percentage of 90.83 % for material expert validators, 99.30 % for teaching design expert validators, and 96.87% for educational practitioner expert validators. The average of the three percentages yields a percentage level of 95.66 % for a very good category. These results show that the created handouts may be utilised as a component of the curriculum for teaching senior high school students about ecosystems.
