Abstract
The integration of digital learning platforms in mathematics education presents both opportunities and challenges. This study investigates the factors influencing the successful implementation of a constructivist-based digital learning platform model designed to enhance mathematical executive problem-solving skills among primary school students. The research objectives were to identify key success factors, examine their relationships with learning outcomes, and explore stakeholders' perspectives on the model's effectiveness. A mixed-methods approach was used, involving purposive sampling of 5 designers, 5 developers, and 5 teachers, and stratified random sampling of 210 sixth-grade students from three schools with diverse demographics. Inclusion criteria for students included consistent attendance and prior experience with digital platforms. Data collection methods included surveys, interviews, and classroom observations. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression, while qualitative data underwent thematic analysis. The findings reveal that the integration of constructivist theory (β = 0.31, p < .001), quality of digital learning platforms (β = 0.28, p < .001), and teachers' understanding of the platform (β = 0.25, p < .001) were the most significant factors contributing to the model's success. Student engagement and interest (β = 0.22, p < .001) also played a crucial role. The study uncovered complex interactions between factors, with teachers' understanding indirectly influencing success through increased student interest (r = 0.62, p < .001). This research provides valuable insights for educators and policymakers seeking to implement effective digital learning platforms in mathematics education, highlighting the importance of theoretical grounding.
