This document discusses self-reporting techniques and anecdotal records used to assess students. Self-reporting involves surveys or questionnaires where students select their own responses without interference. It is used to understand student moods, interests, attitudes and behaviors. Anecdotal records involve teachers objectively recording important behavioral episodes of students. Both methods allow collection of qualitative and quantitative student data in an efficient manner, though responses may be influenced by mood and questions misunderstood.

collect quickly and cheaply.
• The gathered responses/ information are highly
valid and reliable.
• Left our data could be easily obtained back
• Data obtained from closed of questions can be
easily tabulated and analyzed.

10. DISADVANTAGES

2) There are chances for questions being
misunderstood and answered accordingly.
3) The answers provided by the respondents may be
influenced by their mood and emotions at the time of
answering.
4) Answers based on pupils’ feelings

11. ANECDOTAL RECORD
• An anecdotal record is an observation
that is written like a short story.
• They are descriptions of incidents or
events that are important to the person

accounts concerning some aspects of pupil
behavior which seems significant to the
behavior.

the student’s life will be recorded objectively.
• Insignificant daily routines of day to day life will
not find a place in the record.
• Only one incident at a time will be observed and
recorded, each card will be of 3”x 5” size.
• Every teacher will maintain separate cards.
• Behaviors from incidents on play ground, hostel,
laboratory, excursion, field trip, assembly hall, rest
room

15. MAINTAINING ANECDOTAL
RECORD
 Teacher should decide about which students
have to be observed, when to undertake
observation, and how to record the information
Obtained.
 Everyday a specific time should be allocated to
record the observation made.
 If there is a long interval between observation
and recording, the teacher may forget some of
the details observed.
 The continuous supervision and help of the
school counselor, teachers should keep

teachers increase.

happens to be the important events in the
student's life, any exaggerated description may
lead to misunderstand the student.
• Information recorded in the anecdotal record will
be useful, only if they are accurate and
comprehensive.
• If the described behavior is isolated from the
social background in which it happened, its real

20. CONCLUSION
• The self reporting techniques and anecdotal
record are assess the learning achievement of
students and their method of learning, it
requires for the teacher to collect various
