It applies content analysis technique, using a self-constructed checklist containing different aspects and attributes of quantitative research was adopted for data collection. Analysis of the data was carried out using percentage analysis, graphs and charts from articles on SCOPUS database, with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 27.0 software.
