Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.

Systematic review analysis of research methods (Table 3) across the 33 selected publications. The review reports "24 of them used quantitative methodology" with questionnaire data collection, four applied partial least squares structural equation modeling, two qualitative, two mixed methods, and one Delphi study.
"It is important to note that 24 of them used quantitative methodology to investigate digital competence related content, and the collection of data was performed through a questionnaire."
