Abstract: This study provides a comprehensive analysis of scientific publications aimed at systematizing methodologies and technologies for assessing students’ STEM competencies. Through content analysis of 40 reference sources, two leading technologies and their significant variants are identified. The study outlines and explains the application of six assessment methods and details the specific tools used. Conclusions highlight deficiencies in current systems and frameworks for assessing students’ STEM competencies. The analyzed reference list is also presented in the study.

Keywords: STEM competence, assessment, methodology, technology
