Abstract

In the digital era, mathematics learning must not only focus on conceptual understanding but also foster essential 21st-century skills such as problem-solving and collaboration. However, classroom practices often remain teacher-centered, limiting students’ active participation. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of interactive learning media in improving students’ problem-solving and collaboration skills in the Pythagorean Theorem. A quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was applied to 31 eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 3 Kalasan. Data were collected using problem-solving tests, collaboration questionnaires, and observation sheets, and analyzed through descriptive statistics and paired sample t-tests. The findings revealed significant improvement in both problem-solving and collaboration after the intervention, indicating that interactive media can create a more engaging and student-centered learning environment. These results confirm the potential of technology-assisted learning to strengthen students’ cognitive and social competencies. It can be concluded that interactive learning media are effective in enhancing mathematics learning outcomes, though challenges such as maintaining student focus and motivation remain.
