Abstract

This paper presents a study that mapped and analyzed Peruvian scientific production (2013-2023) on educational assessment in teacher education, focusing on theses and dissertations. The research employs elements of a meta-research approach to deepen the critical analysis of the knowledge produced, and uses the Iramuteq software to support data systematization in order to identify theoretical and methodological trends in academic production from Peruvian universities. The results show growth in publications over the past five years, mainly concentrated in Lima and at Universidad César Vallejo, revealing centralization and a lack of regional and institutional diversity. Moreover, the recurrent keywords indicate a formative approach to assessment, oriented toward teaching practice and learning. However, conceptual and methodological weaknesses are observed, with limited use of Peruvian theoretical frameworks and little articulation with macrostructural contexts, highlighting the need for greater epistemological depth and academic plurality.

Keywords: Educational assessment. Knowledge production. Peru. Teacher education.
