The rapid application of technology in education opens up opportunities to improve learning outcomes through innovative media; however, many learning resources in elementary schools still lack interactive features and structured pedagogical models that actively engage students in problem-solving. This study aims to develop an interactive learning media product based on the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model, supported by WordPress. It combines structured PBL inquiry with the flexibility and accessibility of the WordPress platform to create a dynamic and user-friendly digital environment. Using the ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The focus of this paper is on the implementation and evaluation stages. The product trial was conducted in the fifth grade of SDN 6 Kalipare, Malang, involving 18 students as respondents. The data collected focused on two main aspects: the practicality and the effectiveness of the developed product. The practicality of the product was evaluated using teacher and student response questionnaires, while the effectiveness of the product was evaluated using a test. The effectiveness test results showed that the average teacher response was 94.25% and the average student response was 88.75%, both falling into the “convenient” category. The effectiveness test results showed a significant improvement in learning outcomes, with the average score increasing from 62.78 on the pre-test to 88.89 on the post-test, and all students exceeded the minimum passing criterion of 70. These findings indicate that the PBL-based interactive learning media supported by WordPress is practical and effective. These findings offer a replicable model for integrating problem-solving pedagogy with accessible web technology to enhance engagement and achievement in elementary education.
