Educational assessment plays a significant role in enhancing students' learning. It serves as a fundamental systematic approach to draw conclusions about students' progress and development. Assessment helps determine their level of achievement in their studies and serves as a valuable method for maintaining education quality within institutions. The aim of this study is to correlate different types of educational assessment with their impact on the educational process from 2008 to 2022. The research includes all relevant publications during this period, using the VOS viewer program to identify similarities. In January 2023, an analysis of 3,058 publications in the Scopus database revealed the prominent topics covered by these journals. The results indicated that various types of educational assessment have accomplished numerous beneficial goals for students and educators. These assessments have significantly improved quality across various educational institutions and fields of study, including medicine, engineering, language, and more. The study also highlighted that students gain new insights and knowledge, especially through formative assessment, which enhances their critical thinking and performance. They have demonstrated an improved grasp of new and valuable concepts. Through bibliometric analysis, this research demonstrates that using various types of educational assessment significantly contributes to achieving the desired objectives of the educational process. This study included all relevant studies from 2008 to 2022 and visualized similarity patterns using the VOS viewer program. According to the Scopus database in August 2022, a total of 1,201 articles were analyzed to identify the most interesting topics covered in the journals. The results underscore the vital importance of using diverse educational assessment methods in the educational process. The research has shown the effectiveness of formative, diagnostic, and summative assessments in advancing the educational process. This highlights the positive impact of educational assessment on learning, boosting students' confidence in their ability to improve their skills at advanced stages after assessment. Therefore, it is clear that various assessment types are essential for comprehending paths to educational development. Educational institutions can achieve desired quality, improve the educational process, accomplish objectives, and inspire learners to engage in and enjoy the educational journey.
