Content Management System, Problem-Solving Abilities, Interactive Learning, Mathematics Education, WordPressAbstract
This study examines the effectiveness of using the Content Management System (CMS) WordPress as an interactive learning media to improve students' mathematical problem-solving skills. The purpose of this study is to explore the role of WordPress in supporting interactive learning and its contribution to the development of mathematical problem-solving competencies. This research uses the literature study method by analyzing scientific articles from various trusted sources such as Scopus, Springer, and Google Scholar. The results show that WordPress, with its interactive features such as the MathJax plugin, quizzes, and discussion forums, can increase students' engagement in learning as well as deepen their understanding of mathematical concepts. The platform allows students to access learning materials flexibly, anytime and anywhere and provides a more engaging and interactive learning experience. However, this study also found some challenges, such as limited technological infrastructure and training needs for teachers to maximize the use of this platform. Overall, WordPress has excellent potential as an interactive learning medium to improve students' mathematical problem-solving skills. This research recommends further development and application of WordPress in education to support more effective and adaptive learning.
