ABSTRACT
This study focuses on developing a web-based digital learning space (DLS) designed to support
a STEM learning model that fosters students’ mathematical creativity. The DLS builds upon
traditional learning management systems by introducing customizable elements tailored to
individual teaching and learning environments (PTEs and PLEs). These features allow for the
formation of diverse learning networks within the DLS. This enhanced version integrates
frameworks for STEM learning, engaging activities, instructional videos, quizzes, evaluations,
feedback tools, and a chat feature for direct communication with instructors. The research and
development process employed a 4D model–define, design, develop, and disseminate–and
involved validation from content and media experts, confirming the DLS’s reliability for broader
testing. Results indicate that the STEM-based DLS is highly suitable for mathematics education,
as shown by validation from experts, practicality tests from users, and effectiveness tests that
measured students’ mathematical creativity. This study also found moderate improvement in
students’ creative mathematical thinking (Ng = 0.554) within classrooms using the STEM-based
DLS, highlighting its effectiveness for enhancing these skills. Thus, this STEM-focused DLS offers
a mobile-friendly digital environment that effectively promotes students’ mathematical creativity.
