The development of digital technology has encouraged the transformation of learning evaluation systems toward approaches that are more relevant to the demands of 21st-century education. Conventional paper-based assessments are considered less capable of measuring critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity (4C) skills, which have become essential competencies for modern learners. This study aims to analyze trends, effectiveness, and digital evaluation models that support 21st-century skills-based assessment, particularly in the context of elementary education. The study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method by analyzing 30 scientific articles obtained from the Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, and Google Scholar databases published between 2020 and 2025. The findings reveal that Learning Analytics and digital-based authentic assessments, such as electronic portfolios, digital projects, and peer-assessment platforms, are effective in enhancing students’ learning motivation, providing real-time feedback, and measuring students’ critical thinking and collaborative skills. However, the implementation of digital evaluation still faces several challenges, including limited technological infrastructure, low levels of teachers’ digital literacy, and difficulties in automatically assessing creativity. Therefore, the development of an integrated, contextual, and sustainable digital evaluation framework is necessary to support the quality of 21st-century learning.
