Confidence assessment is vital for validating decisions, managing risks, and improving the quality of knowledge. However, there is a noticeable gap in comprehensive research aimed at investigating, understanding, and interpreting the evolving trends in confidence assessment. In light of this, the study involves conducting a systematic literature review to evaluate the nuances and key findings of previous works, shedding light on the current state of knowledge in this field. Emphasizing the significance of confidence, particularly in learning, is essential for accurately determining a student’s level of knowledge. Our systematic review, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, analyzes 39 studies (2018-2023) from Scopus, Web of Science, and Science Direct. Four primary themes—aims, methods, approaches, and Likert scale types are unfolded into 27 sub-themes, offering a comprehensive view of confidence assessment research trends. Notably, in fields like medicine, confidence assessment is pivotal, with pre-and post-surveys using a 5-point Likert scale being predominant. By synthesizing findings, it informs future research, enhances methods, and contributes to advancing our collective understanding of confidence assessment in knowledge creation. © 2024 Little Lion Scientific.
