Measurement

Measurement is the process of observing and recording the observations that

are collected as part of a research effort.

Validity is more critical to measurement than

reliability statement

Assessment validity is a bit more complex because it is

more difficult to assess than reliability. There are various
ways to assess and demonstrate that an assessment is
valid, but in simple terms, assessment validity refers
to how well a test measures what it is supposed to
measure.
There are several approaches to determine the validity of
an assessment, including the assessment of content,
criterion-related and construct validity.

Concept development refers to the basic understanding that is necessary to make

sense of one's world. This includes ideas about the self and others, objects, and the
environment. This foundationsl understanding is crucial to communication, travel,
and independence.
