This article presents the results of a meta-analysis focused on the investigation of pedagogically oriented assessment practices in mathematics education at the basic education level. The study aimed to identify, in quantitative research published between 2019 and 2025, the characteristics of the interventions, the educational contexts involved, and the patterns of outcomes reported. The systematic review was conducted based on the PRISMA 2020 guidelines and included eight empirical studies that met the defined methodological criteria. Statistical analyses were performed using the Jamovi software, employing a random effects model. The results indicated a positive and statistically significant standardized mean difference (SMD = 1.31; 95% CI [0.645; 1.972]), suggesting that assessment practices centered on the teaching process contribute to improved academic performance in mathematics. The strategies adopted in the studies included the use of rubrics, peer feedback, gamification, digital technologies, and artificial intelligence. The absence of publication bias and the high heterogeneity (I² = 89.5%) simultaneously indicate the robustness of the effects and the diversity of approaches adopted. It is concluded that pedagogically focused assessment holds potential to transform teaching practices, provided it is implemented intentionally and supported by ongoing teacher development.
