Fundamentals of Database Systems is a core course in computing disciplines as almost all small, medium, large, or enterprise systems essentially require data storage component. Database System Education (DSE) provides the foundation as well as advanced concepts in the area of data modeling and its implementation. The first course in DSE holds a pivotal role in developing students’ interest in this area. Over the years, the researchers have devised several different tools and methods to teach this course effectively, and have also been revisiting the curricula for database systems education. In this study a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) is presented that distills the existing literature pertaining to the DSE to discuss these three perspectives for the first course in database systems. Whereby, this SLR also discusses how the developed teaching and learning assistant tools, teaching and assessment methods and database curricula have evolved over the years due to rapid change in database technology. To this end, more than 65 articles related to DSE published between 1995 and 2022 have been shortlisted through a structured mechanism and have been reviewed to find the answers of the aforementioned objectives. The article also provides useful guidelines to the instructors, and discusses ideas to extend this research from several perspectives. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first research work that presents a broader review about the research conducted in the area of DSE.

数据库系统基础是计算学科的核心课程，因为几乎所有小型、中型、大型或企业系统本质上都需要数据存储组件。数据库系统教育 (DSE) 提供数据建模及其实施领域的基础和高级概念。DSE 的第一门课程在培养学生对这方面的兴趣方面起着举足轻重的作用。多年来，研究人员设计了几种不同的工具和方法来有效地教授这门课程，并且还一直在重新审视数据库系统教育的课程。在本研究中，提出了系统文献综述 (SLR)，它提炼了与 DSE 有关的现有文献，以讨论数据库系统第一门课程的这三个观点。据此，本 SLR 还讨论了由于数据库技术的快速变化，多年来开发的教学和学习辅助工具、教学和评估方法以及数据库课程是如何演变的。为此，通过结构化机制筛选了 1995 年至 2022 年间发表的超过 65 篇与 DSE 相关的文章，并进行了审查以找到上述目标的答案。文章还为教师提供了有用的指导，并从多个角度讨论了扩展这项研究的想法。据我们所知，这是第一份对 DSE 领域的研究进行更广泛回顾的研究工作。为此，通过结构化机制筛选了 1995 年至 2022 年间发表的超过 65 篇与 DSE 相关的文章，并进行了审查以找到上述目标的答案。文章还为教师提供了有用的指导，并从多个角度讨论了扩展这项研究的想法。据我们所知，这是第一份对 DSE 领域的研究进行更广泛回顾的研究工作。为此，通过结构化机制筛选了 1995 年至 2022 年间发表的超过 65 篇与 DSE 相关的文章，并进行了审查以找到上述目标的答案。文章还为教师提供了有用的指导，并从多个角度讨论了扩展这项研究的想法。据我们所知，这是第一份对 DSE 领域的研究进行更广泛回顾的研究工作。
