This paper aims to present a systematic literature review (SLR) on the methodologies and tools utilized for assessing students’ digital competencies, with particular focus on the definition of threshold levels to describe outcomes achieved in standardized tests. The SLR constitutes the initial phase of a research project that seeks to integrate a pedagogical approach into a predominantly technical and psychometric process. The research questions address both the methodology for assessing digital competencies and the procedure for creating and describing threshold levels.

Applying inclusion and exclusion criteria (based on students’ grade levels, assessment methods, etc.), 128 articles were selected for further examination. However, the analysis of the 21 most relevant articles revealed an absence of pedagogical considerations, indicating a potential area for further exploration. The delineation of competency levels, as determined by standardized test outcomes, has significant implications for schools, students, and their families, providing critical feedback that can inform the teaching‐learning process, educational redesign, and decision‐making processes.
L’articolo presenta una revisione sistematica della letteratura (SLR) sui metodi e gli strumenti per valutare le competenze digitali degli studenti, in particolare sulla costruzione di livelli soglia vòlti a descrivere i risultati ottenuti in test standardizzati. La SLR è il primo passo di un progetto di ricerca il cui scopo è l'applicazione di un approccio pedagogico in un processo eminentemente tecnico e psicometrico. Le domande di ricerca sono legate alla metodologia di valutazione delle competenze digitali e alla procedura di definizione e descrizione dei livelli di soglia. Tre repository di articoli (ERIC, Scopus e Web of Science) e alcuni siti istituzionali (UNESCO, Unione Europea, IEA ecc.) sono stati interrogati, ottenendo 5751 articoli. Attraverso criteri di inclusione/esclusione (classe degli studenti, metodo di valutazione, ecc.) sono stati recuperati 128 articoli. I 21 articoli analizzati non offrono riflessioni pedagogiche sistematiche e questo apre ulteriori prospettive di riflessione. Descrivere i livelli di competenza, come risultato di test standardizzati, ha un impatto sulle scuole, gli studenti e le loro famiglie perché offre un feedback importante che potrebbe essere impiegato nel processo di insegnamento‐apprendimento, nella riprogettazione dell'istruzione e nei processi decisionali.

Abstract
This paper aims to present a systematic literature review (SLR) on the methodologies and tools utilized for assessing students’ digital competencies, with particular focus on the definition of threshold levels to describe outcomes achieved in standardized tests. The SLR constitutes the initial phase of a research project that seeks to integrate a pedagogical approach into a predominantly technical and psychometric process. The research questions address both the methodology for assessing digital competencies and the procedure for creating and describing threshold levels. A comprehensive search was conducted across three article repositories (ERIC, Scopus, and Web of Science) and several institutional websites (such as UNESCO, the European Union, and IEA), resulting in the retrieval of 5751 articles. Applying inclusion and exclusion criteria (based on students’ grade levels, assessment methods, etc.), 128 articles were selected for further examination. However, the analysis of the 21 most relevant articles revealed an absence of pedagogical considerations, indicating a potential area for further exploration. The delineation of competency levels, as determined by standardized test outcomes, has significant implications for schools, students, and their families, providing critical feedback that can inform the teaching‐learning process, educational redesign, and decision‐making processes.File | Dimensione del file | Formato | |
