Abstract

This study aims to map the development of research on electronic modules for learning literacy at the elementary school level through a bibliometric analysis approach. The research data was obtained from the Scopus database with a publication range of 2014-2024, using keywords related to electronic modules, learning literacy, and elementary education. The analysis was conducted using VOSviewer (version 1.6.19) and Biblioshiny to identify trends in publication growth, productive journals and sources, contributions by authors, institutions, and countries, as well as patterns of collaboration and co-occurrence of keywords. The analysis shows that research on electronic modules for learning literacy in elementary schools has increased consistently, with a significant surge in the period 2020-2024. Journals in the field of educational technology and digital learning are the main sources of publication, while research contributions are still dominated by countries with established educational technology infrastructure. Keyword analysis shows a shift in research focus from the technical aspects of module development to greater attention to pedagogical impact, student engagement, and the strengthening of higher-order thinking skills. Overall, this research provides a comprehensive overview of the direction and structure of research on electronic modules for learning literacy in elementary schools, and can be a reference for researchers and practitioners of elementary education in developing more contextual and effective digital teaching materials.
