Abstract

This systematic literature review examined contemporary trends and innovations in mathematics learning assessment, with a specific focus on digital and authentic assessment approaches. Through a comprehensive analysis of 20 peer-reviewed articles published between 2019 and 2024, the study identified key developments in assessment methodologies, technology integration, and pedagogical innovations transforming mathematics education evaluation. The findings revealed a significant shift toward formative assessment practices, adaptive testing systems, and authentic problem-solving scenarios that better reflect real-world mathematical applications. The review also highlighted the effectiveness of these innovative approaches in enhancing student engagement, conceptual understanding, and accessibility. However, challenges related to technological infrastructure, teacher readiness, and equity concerns were noted. The study concluded that the future of mathematics assessment lies in the thoughtful integration of digital tools with meaningful, authentic tasks, offering valuable insights for educators, researchers, and policymakers aiming to implement effective and equitable assessment practices.
