This researcher, who participated in a learning support program for students in specific areas, selects three eighth resident students as research subjects. Three students failed to meet the passing standards in the Remedial Instruction Assessment System for Elementary and Junior High Schools, i.e. the screening test and diagnostic assessment on the PRIORI-tbt technology-based assessment website and therefore needed to participate in a remedial instruction program and did self-regulated learning after school by using the digital materials on the Moodle learning platform. This researcher first uses the Moodle learning platform to create digital materials in a fractions module for self-regulated learning in accordance with the technology-based assessment indicators on PRIORI-tbt. The three students received remedial instruction of the fractions module for 4 weeks and were asked to view the digital materials online during breaks between classes and after school throughout the period. At the end of the remedial instruction of the fractions module, the study samples were interviewed individually to investigate their attitudes toward learning after the use of the digital materials for remedial mathematics instruction. After analyzing and inducing how the subjects performed in terms of their learning attitudes, the researcher finds the subjects with the use of the digital materials did exhibit improved attitudes of learning in four aspects, including the desire of learning, the process of learning, type of acquisition, and the belief in learning. This study also provides suggestions for creating digital materials for remedial instruction of a fractions module.
