    This document discusses anecdotal records, which are brief written descriptions of significant behaviors or incidents observed in students. Anecdotal records provide objective, factual accounts of observations and can be used by teachers to better understand students and to evaluate their behavior and development over time. They should describe a single, specific incident and include details like when it occurred, what happened, and the circumstances. Anecdotal records have various purposes, like informing cumulative records and stimulating teachers to look for pertinent information to help students. They also have advantages, like supplementing other assessment methods, but also disadvantages like potential subjectivity if not carefully recorded.

    ANECDOTAL RECORD
    Definition:-
    ·       It is a brief description of an observed behaviour that appears significant for evaluation
    purposes.
    ·       A factual record of an observation of a single, specific, significant incident in the behaviour of
    a student.
    ·       A verbal snapshot of an incident.
    ·       A simple statement of an incident deemed by the observer to be significant with respect to a
    given pupil.
    ·       The spot description of an incident, episode or occurrence i.e., observed and recorded as being
    of possible significance.
    ·       An objective description by the teacher of a significant occurrence or an episode in the life of
    the pupil.
    Meaning:-
    ·     Informal device used by the teacher to record behaviour of the students as observed from time
    to time.
    ·     It provides a lasting record of behaviour which may be useful later in contributing to a
    judgement about a student.
    ·     It gives useful information concerning an individual. The observer should be objective and has
    to maintain various kinds of social relationships in which the individual takes part, e.g. Parent-
    child, pupil-teacher, social interaction, etc.
    ·     Teachers will note down the important happenings pertaining to a pupil for future reference.
    ·     The teacher describes the events he observed carefully and writes his comments, takes the
    signature of the student; he will also sign and keep it into the file, and will be considered for
    evaluating the particular student.
    Characteristics of anecdotal record:-
    ·     A factual description of an event, how it occurred; what happened; when it occurred and under
    what circumstances the behaviour occurred will be described by the observer i.e., objective
    description of pupil’s behaviour recorded from time to time, along with observer’s comments,
    the treatment
    ·     Each anecdotal record should contain a record of a single incident.
    ·     The incident recorded should be one i.e., considered to be significant to the pupil’s growth and
    development.
    Purposes:-
    ·     To furnish the multiplicity of evidence needed for good cumulative record.
    ·     To substitute for vague generalizations about students specific exact description of behaviour.
    ·     To stimulate teachers to look for information i.e., pertinent in helping each student realize good
    self-adjustment.
    ·     To understand individual’s basic personality pattern and his reactions in different situations.
    ·     The teacher is able to understand her pupil in a realistic manner.
    ·     It provides an opportunity for healthy pupil-teacher relationship.
    ·     It can be maintained in the areas of behaviour that cannot be evaluated by other methods.
    ·     Helps the students to improve their behaviour, as it is a direct feedback of an entire observed
    incident, the student can analyse his behaviour better.
    ·     Useful in supplementing and validity observations made by other means.
    ·     Can be used by students for self appraisal and peer assessment.
    Advantages:-
    ·     Supplements and validates of other structured instruments.
    ·     Provision of insight into total behavioural incidents.
    ·     Use of formative feedback.
    ·     Economical and easy to develop.
    Disadvantages:-
    ·     If carelessly recorded, the purpose will not be fulfilled.
    ·     Subjectivity.
    ·     Lack of standardization.
    ·     Difficulty in scoring.
    ·     Time consuming.
    ·     Limited application.
    Effective use of anecdotal records:-
    ·     Specify the behaviour to be assessed in advance.
    ·     Limit observations to those categories or qualities.
    ·     Record enough of the situations to decrease subjectivity.
    ·     Avoid too much dependency on memory by recording it time to time. It increases its objectivity,
    validity and reliability.
    ·     A single specific incident has to be recorded (positive and negative aspects) and consider both
    in making inferences.
    ·     Relates anecdotal records directly to the clinical objectives.
    Items in anecdotal record:-
    ·     Name of student, class and school, date of observation.
    ·     Setting background of the incident.
    ·     Signature of the observer.
    ·     Interpretation of the behaviour.
    ·     Recommendations concerning the behaviour.
