| Sumario: | This article analyzes standardized educational assessments (SEA) as valuable tools for measuring educational achievements and improving the quality of educational systems. It offers an updated overview of their development, implementation, and analysis methods. The research is based on a theoretical bibliographic review, examining recent studies that address global and regional educational contexts, with a particular emphasis on Latin America. The analysis identifies significant methodological advances, such as the incorporation of item response theory, computerized adaptive testing, and the use of artificial intelligence for item generation, all of which enhance the accuracy and relevance of measurements. However, limitations were also identified, including the disconnect between the technical design of SEA and their practical application, the lack of technical training for teachers, and the underutilization of the databases generated for educational research and informed decision-making. The findings highlight the need to design SEA that consider disadvantaged contexts and students with disabilities. The conclusion emphasizes that maximizing the impact of SEA requires strengthening training in their interpretation and promoting their use in educational research, thereby contributing to more equitable and effective educational systems. |
