      abstract = {Transitioning from the 8-4-4 system to the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) in Kenya represents a fundamental shift toward learner-centered approaches and 21st-century skills development. However, challenges in adapting pedagogical practices hinder effective implementation. This systematic literature review examined the role of pedagogical evolution in CBC implementation effectiveness, focusing on learner-centered approaches, continuous assessment strategies, and technology integration. Findings revealed that learner-centered approaches positively influence CBC effectiveness by promoting student engagement and flexible curricula. Continuous assessment strategies enhance implementation through frequent formative assessments focused on learning outcomes. Technology integration significantly improves curriculum delivery and student engagement. The study concludes that pedagogical evolution plays a critical role in CBC success and recommends policy revisions to promote learner-centered practices, resource allocation for teacher training, and enhanced technology integration initiatives by the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development.},
