Abstract


This study was motivated by the low mathematical problem-solving abilities of elementary school students, particularly in fraction material. The purpose of this research was to develop a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) module assisted by interactive multimedia using Articulate Storyline 3 that is valid, practical, and effective in improving students’ mathematical problem-solving abilities. This research employed a development research design using the Plomp model, which consists of three phases: preliminary research, Prototype development, and assessment phase. The subjects of this study were fifth-grade students at SDN 13 Kuranji and SDN 30 Lubuk Lintah. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, documentation, and problem-solving tests, and analyzed using qualitative and quantitative approaches. The results showed that the developed module met the criteria of validity, practicality, and effectiveness. The validity level reached 90% (very valid category), while the practicality level reached 92% (very practical category). Furthermore, the effectiveness test indicated that 81.6% of students in the experimental class achieved the minimum mastery criteria, compared to 37.6% in the control class. Therefore, the PBL module assisted by Articulate Storyline 3 is considered effective in improving students’ mathematical problem-solving abilities.
