Abstract

This research explored how to teach fractions and investigate mathematics literacy in fractions of students through realistic mathematics education assisted by digital modules based on the level of self-regulated learning in elementary school. This research employed a quantitative study using a factorial design. The students who participated were 48 fifth-grade students in one of an elementary school in Bandung, Indonesia. Mathematics literacy tests and self-regulated questionnaires were taken in collecting the research data. The data were analyzed using a two-way ANOVA test. The results revealed that the teaching stage of fraction consists of two methods. There is a difference in mathematics literacy between students who learn using realistic mathematics education assisted by digital modules and students who learn using a scientific approach based on the level of self-regulated learning. These results have implications for future learning to empower mathematics literacy on fractions through integrating technology into learning activities. © 2025 Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia.
