The findings reveal that direct observation, anecdotal records, interactive digital media, and developmental checklists are commonly used to assess social-emotional development. The results also highlight the importance of fostering children’s empathy, emotional regulation, and social skills. This study supports the selection of appropriate and contextual assessment techniques. It also emphasizes the importance of teacher training in implementing holistic and authentic social-emotional assessments. This review is expected to enhance assessment practices in early childhood education and serve as a reference for policymaking in the field.
