Assessment and Measurement of Performance in Young ChildrenAccording to Bredekamp (1987), assessment is the process of observing, recording and otherwise documenting the work the children do and how they do it as a basis for educational decisions that affect the child. Measurement on the other hand is the assigning of numerals to individuals or objects in a systematic manner as a means of presenting the properties of the individuals or objects (Ingule et. al., 1996).
