The research objectives in this article are (1) to develop an ICARE-based Geography E-Module integrated with STEM using a spatial approach, and (2) to conduct trials and apply the results of product development to determine the improvement of students’ spatial thinking skills. The type of research used is RnD with a mixed analysis method. The development model used in this research is ADDIE. The research design used is one group pretest posttest design through paired sample T-test. The value of paired sample T-test is used to determine the effectiveness of using the product. Data collection instruments were used in interviews and questionnaires. The results of this study indicate that (1) The ICARE-based Geography E-Module product integrated with STEM using a spatial approach is included in the very feasible category with a percentage of 92%. (2) The use of E-Module products can improve students’ spatial thinking skills. Keywords: E-Module, ICARE, STEM, Spatial, Geography
