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 observing. Anecdotal records are short, objective and as accurate as possible.
definition Raths Louis says, “anecdotal record is a report of the information's about the significant episodes which happened in a student’s life. According to traxler, “anecdotal record as the name implies involves setting down accounts concerning some aspects of pupil behavior which seems significant to the behavior.
Salient features Factual information about the important events in 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
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 maintaining anecdotal records.
Characterstics Simple reports of behaviour Results of direct observation Accurate and Specific Give Context of Child’s behaviour Records Typical or unusual behaviour
Advantages This record is helpful to understand the student’s personality. Help teachers to plan activities Teacher gets opportunities to know about his students fully and get closer to them.

Limitations Studying them take a lot of time, the work load of teachers increase. As the incidents recorded in the anecdotal record 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 nature cannot become clear.
