(7) Cumulative Record Cards
It is documents in which the relevant information about a particular student at one educational
institution is recorded cumulatively. This gives a complete and growing picture of the individual
student, which helps him during his long stay at the school and the time of leaving it, in the
solution of his manifold problems of educational, vocational, personal and social. It follows the
student from class to class and from school. It provides an opportunity to have a comprehensive
picture of the all-round development of the personality of the child. It is a very important
record which should be maintained in every school. Therefore, the Secondary Education
Commission(1953) opines “these should be a common feature all over the country”.
Nature of Cumulative Record Card
It is a fact of experience that every child grows and develops as an entity. We can understand
his behaviour or personality make-up at a given time, if we can collect information about him
in light of his past activities, and take the help of a cumulative record card. The most important
characteristics of such information is comprehensiveness and continuity. These two may be
considered as the unique natures of the cumulative record card.
Use of the Cumulative Record Card
1. It helps teachers and counsellors to identify the needs of the individual students and
understand their manifold problems.
2. It helps counsellors to know the strengths and weakness of individual students and deal
with them.
3. It aids teachers and counsellors to discover special abilities in students which should be
developed.
4. It furnishes suggestions and reasons as to why certain students are adjusted to the school
situation.
5. It contains data which may be useful in conferring with certain students about behaviour
problems.
6. It provides information, which is helpful while taking with students about their achievements
in school.
