Keywords:
comparative analysis, digital literacy, education, framework, systematic literatureAbstract
This synthesis review analyses the evolution of digital literacy frameworks from 2002 to 2024 through a systematic literature review. By evaluating various frameworks, the study highlights key components essential for effective digital competence, emphasizing trends such as the integration of critical thinking, collaboration, and ethical technology use. The findings indicate significant progress in understanding digital competence, alongside ongoing gaps and challenges in framework implementation across educational contexts. Based on these insights, recommendations are made for teachers and policymakers to enhance the design and effectiveness of digital literacy frameworks, ensuring they align with the needs of the digital age. This review underscores the necessity for continuous adaptation and collaboration to foster digital competence among learners effectivelyReferences
