This study explores and compares assessment methods used in the education systems of Italy and Uzbekistan, focusing on the contrast between traditional and modern approaches. The research examines how historical practices such as oral examinations, standardized testing, and teacher-centered evaluation in both countries have evolved in response to educational reforms and global trends. In Italy, assessment methods increasingly emphasize formative evaluation, continuous feedback, and competency-based learning aligned with European educational standards. In Uzbekistan, while traditional summative assessments and centralized examinations remain significant, recent reforms aim to introduce more student-centered and diversified evaluation techniques.
