Subclaims¶

q2 i? DIL carries a significant indirect effect of digital competence on academic performance (β = 0.14, 95% CI 0.01–0.23), while the direct effect remains significant, indicating partial mediation. → Mehrvarz 2021

Evidence¶

Mehrvarz 2021¶

Mehrvarz, Mahboobe; Heidari, Elham; Farrokhnia, Mohammadreza; Noroozi, Omid. (2021). The mediating role of digital informal learning in the relationship between students' digital competence and their academic performance. Computers & Education 167 (2021) 104184. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compedu.2021.104184

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Bootstrapped mediation analysis with 2000 resamples on the 319-student SEM model testing H4. The quote's "β = 0.14" indirect effect with a CI excluding zero is the article's only printed magnitude; no standardised effect size is reported.

"The indirect effect of digital competence on increasing students' academic performance with mediating role of DIL was β = 0.14, wherein the CI was between the range of 0.01–0.23, and the 95% CI did not include zero."

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Same mediation analysis: the direct association between digital competence and academic performance was reduced but remained significant once DIL was included, supporting partial rather than full mediation (H4 supported).

"After including DIL as an intermediate variable, the association between digital competence and academic performance was reduced, but it still remained significant."
