Research on young people's digital competencies has reported conflicting results, conceivably produced by the diversity of theoretical positions that underlie these studies. This suggests the need to continue with the digital competencies construct review. One way to proceed is by the analysis of its operationalization. Therefore, we carried out a meta-synthesis of 50 studies that explored digital competencies empirically. Our results indicate some problems with the operationalization, so it was concluded the need to keep improving it, which could allow the generation of more comprehensive competencies proposals and reduce inaccuracies.
