ABSTRACT
The research presented in this article is a systematic review of the literature on the assessment of
mathematical modeling in the setting of mathematics education published in the previous five
years. This research has compiled the current best information from around the world to offer an
overview of the assessment of mathematical modeling for pre-service mathematics teachers or
mathematics teachers. We followed the approach used in Joklitschke et al. (2021), which involved
10 steps in systematic literature review (SLR). We accessed using Web of Science (WoS), Scopus,
and mathematics education journals that are ranked 1-10. Based on a full-text analysis of 18 peer-reviewed papers published in English, most of the research was conducted among pre-service
mathematics teacher and most of the studies were conducted in Turkey, United States, and
Germany. The future trends and opportunities were also discussed. We also found that most test
types employed for measuring modeling competency were project, cognitive dimension, holistic
approach, and the tests utilized more qualitative approach.
