q2 i? Across 28 student/citizen frameworks, the most frequent element categories were information and data literacy (n = 40 indicators), communication and collaboration (n = 20), safety and ethics (n = 19), digital content creation (n = 13), and problem solving and creativity (n = 13). → Zemin Guo 2026

q2 · i? · review · r2

Frequency analysis of element categories across 28 student/citizen digital literacy frameworks (Fig. 2), under non-exclusive coding with the unique framework as unit of inclusion. The review reports these five categories as those that "align closely with the DigComp framework."

"These common elements are shown in Fig. 2, including information and data literacy (number of indicators n = 40, same as below), communication and collaboration (n = 20), safety and ethics (n = 19), digital content creation (n = 13) and problem solving and creativity (n = 13)."
