The subjects of the study are the fifth grade of MI Darul Huda Tambaksari Mojokerto Regency. The research instrument uses a validation sheet, test, and an observation sheet of the learning process.

The product of this research is a problem based learning learning device that is packaged in hard files and soft files for distribution through social media so that it is easily accessible by teachers and educators who need a reference to the development of learning devices. The product was validated by experts and tested limitedly to MI Darul Huda Tambaksari students.

Student trials with an average score of 84 in learning using product development and the percentage value of classical learning completeness of 100% with digital literacy skills and critical thinking that increases from the pretestr results.
