This study aims to produce metacognitive-based teaching materials for the subject of Science in Grade IV Elementary School with the Merdeka Curriculum and to test its validity. This research is a Research and Development (R & D) using the Borg and Gall development model, which is simplified into seven stages: a preliminary study, research planning, design development, limited trial, revision of limited trial, large-scale trial, and revision of large-scale trial. The samples were selected using a purposive sampling technique, with 10 students in the limited trial and 26 in the large-scale trial. The validity of the teaching materials was evaluated by subject matter experts, metacognitive experts, and educational media experts, as well as response questionnaires from teachers and students. The data analysis technique used is descriptive, which presents the product development results. The results of the study show that the development of metacognitive-based teaching materials for the subject of Science in Grade IV Elementary School with the Merdeka Curriculum is valid and feasible to use, based on the validation results from subject matter experts, metacognitive experts, and educational media experts, as well as student assessment questionnaires with average criteria of excellent.
