The aim of this article is to analyse the evaluation of educational plans as a factor influencing the improvement of student learning within the Ecuadorian context. A descriptive documentary methodology was used. Sixteen scientific publications (2019-2025) were examined using systematic content analysis. The results reveal a significant gap between advanced theoretical conceptions of formative assessment and the predominant traditional practices that prioritise memorisation over skills development. Curricular coherence and the systemic integration of educational components were identified as determining factors for sustainable improvements in learning. Challenges remain in relation to curricular fragmentation, the disconnect between theory and assessment practice, and resistance to methodological change. It is concluded that transforming assessment practices requires comprehensive interventions that simultaneously address teacher training, institutional policies, organisational cultures, and resource availability, transcending fragmented approaches towards holistic strategies for educational improvement.
