Recording devices provide various means of organizing the recordings of information about student achievement. Teachers can choose or develop recording devices which suit the teachers style, the students and the activity or learning being assessed. These are:
1. Anecdotal record 2. checklist 3. rating scale 4. rubric 5. learning log
- is a short narrative describing both a behavior and the context in which the behavior occurred;
- describes student performance in detail and in writing
to provide information about students' development
over an extended period of time

to identify the instructional needs of students
When writing anecdotal records, there are two key words to remember: objective and detailed. In order to write the anecdotal record with these two concepts in mind, remember to:
make sure you are only recording what you see and not
what you think you see. use nonjudgmental/non-evaluative language. record what you see, not what you dont see. record as many details as possible.
is a written list of performance criteria which is used to
assess written work
Purpose
The checklist is used to:
record whether a specific skill or behavior was evident or
non evident record the presence of absence of specific behaviors in given situations. Record a performance that can and should be shown to students to help them see where improvement is needed.
is a simple tool for assessing performance on a several-
point scale ranging from low to high. It may have as few as 3 points or as many as 10 points.

judge the performance, product, attitude and/or behavior along a continuum

The rating scale is used to:

Provide detailed diagnostic information on a students
performance, product attitude, behavior in reference to pre-stated criteria

specific behavior

The rubric:

achievement of a process, product of performance;

levels of student performance

The learning log:

Is an ongoing record by the student of what he/she
does while working on a particular task or assignment;

Show student progress and growth over time;
Provide the student with the opportunities to gather
the interpret information, to ask questions, and to make connections.
Many of the following suggestions are similar to the suggested teaching strategies. Those who advocate increased of non-test monitoring and assessment argue that instruction and assessment at their best are intertwined. Good instruction involves observing and analyzing student performance and the most valuable assessment activities should be learning experiences as well.
