Education is a crucial key in shaping individuals who are capable of competing and actively participating in an increasingly complex and dynamic environment. However, education today often remains focused on teacher-centered approaches, which can hinder students' problem-solving abilities, including computational thinking skills. This research aims to implement the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model with the assistance of interactive multimedia in database learning to enhance students' Computational Thinking (CT) abilities. The research method used is the Research and Development (RD) method with the ADDIE multimedia development model and a One Group Pretest post-test research design. The research findings indicate that: 1) The developed multimedia received expert validation with a validity level of 93.55% and categorized as "Very Good". 2) The implementation of the PBL model in database learning has a positive effect on improving students' computational thinking abilities, with an average n-gain of 0.478 categorized as "Moderate". 3) The average student response to the interactive multimedia is 93.45% with the category "Very Good".
