<![CDATA[Authentic assessment and performance-based evaluation are increasingly relevant assessment approaches in 21st-century learning, emphasizing the development of critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and contextual problem-solving skills. However, the implementation of these two approaches in the field still faces various obstacles, including low teacher assessment literacy and limited adequate assessment instruments. This study aims to analyze the concepts, characteristics, implementation strategies, and challenges of authentic assessment and performance-based evaluation through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. Data were collected from national journals accredited by SINTA 4 and SINTA 5 and relevant literature published between 2021 and 2026. The analysis was conducted with reference to the PRISMA guidelines through the stages of identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion, resulting in a final total of 13 articles. The results indicate that authentic assessment is able to assess students' learning outcomes holistically across cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects, while performance-based evaluation emphasizes students' ability to demonstrate competency through real-world tasks. Both approaches have been proven to contribute to increasing learning engagement and mastery of 21st-century competencies. However, optimal implementation requires teacher preparedness, systematic planning, and adequate institutional support.]]>
