The Effect Of Using Interactive Multimedia On Students Mathematical Problem-Solving Ability

Abstract

Students in Indonesia frequently struggle with mathematical problem-solving, partly because traditional teaching methods lack engaging media. This study aimed to investigate the impact of interactive learning multimedia on students' mathematical problem-solving ability. We conducted a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), analyzing 20 articles, from which 15 accredited national journals (Sinta 1-5) were selected from Scopus and Google Scholar, specifically focusing on "interactive learning multimedia" and "mathematical problem-solving ability." The findings consistently demonstrated that interactive learning multimedia significantly enhances students' mathematical problem-solving skills. Notably, integrating interactive multimedia, particularly within a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) framework, proved substantially more effective than conventional instruction without such media. In conclusion, interactive learning multimedia is a vital tool for improving mathematics education and fostering students' essential problem-solving competencies..
