Abstract: A presente revisão sistemática investigou o impacto das reformas curriculares no desempenho estudantil. O problema central da pesquisa focou em como as mudanças curriculares afetam a qualidade do ensino e a aprendizagem dos alunos. O objetivo geral foi analisar a literatura sobre o tema para identificar elementos que contribuem para a eficácia dessas reformas. A metodologia adotada incluiu uma revisão da literatura disponível em bases de dados acadêmicas, com a seleção de estudos que abordaram o impacto das reformas curriculares implementadas nos últimos vinte anos. Os resultados destacaram que as reformas que integravam teoria e prática e proporcionavam apoio contínuo aos professores tendiam a resultar em melhorias no desempenho dos alunos. No entanto, o sucesso das reformas variou de acordo com o contexto regional e o tipo de instituição. As considerações finais ressaltaram a necessidade de adaptar as reformas às condições locais e de continuar a pesquisa para avaliar os efeitos a longo prazo e em diferentes contextos educacionais
