This article analyzes the quality parameters of the SISSCA e-module learning model for pre-service biology teachers. The study focuses on four measurement parameters: validity, reliability, practicality, and effectiveness. Data were collected from five expert validators and sixty-eight fifth-semester students in West Sumatra, divided into experimental and control groups. The results show a mean validity index of 0.89, reliability of 0.983, practicality index of 0.99, and a statistically significant learning gain favoring the experimental group (t=7.643; p=0.001; Cohen′ sd=1.02). These findings demonstrate the convergence of the four parameters, offering a comprehensive triangulation template for evaluating pedagogical innovations
