Correct Answer - Option 4 : Anecdotal record

Assessment in preschool should be formative, continuous, and flow from the experiences planned in the curriculum. It implies observing and documenting the development of the child, by interpreting the evidence from day-to-day experiences of the child to recognize and encourage strengths and addressing learning/developmental gaps.

Anecdotal records:

  • Anecdotal records are short and significant descriptions of the performance and behavior of children in unexpected events, which would not be documented otherwise and are quite useful to observe day-to-day basis
  • Brief written notes based on observations of children—how and where children spend time, their social relationships, their use of language, modes of interaction, information about health and nutrition habits.
  •  An anecdotal record should be brief, concise, the objective report of an incident exactly happened.

Uses of anecdotal records-  

  • Anecdotal records are of special value in indicating social and emotional situations
  • They give a realistic picture of students’ personality
  • Anecdotal records are very useful in fields where formal measurements are very difficult
  • A healthy teacher-pupil relationship is established when teachers are asked by the school organization to write down anecdotal reports.

Thus from the above-mentioned points, it is clear that if a teacher maintains a record of a child's progress on a day-to-day basis and also keeps the observational narrative records of significant incidents in his life, the above activity is used as a/an Anecdotal Records.
