Diagnostic Chart

In the above chart, the weaknesses of seven students have been analyzed. It is clear from the chart
that Imran is the weakest student of the class. He has obtained only 10 marks out of 20. Secondly, his
absence in the class has been the highest. This can be the cause of his weakness. He has incorrectly
done all six of the questions on side difference. It appears that his disinterest in the subject, carelessness,
misunderstanding or absence in the class has caused him to remain weak in the subject. Rajendra is
the most brilliant student of the class, who has scored 20 out of 20, which indicates that he has
understood the subject well. Usha Pande too is a talented student of the class, who has mistaken in
only one question. Maybe she has committed the mistake by chance. In the same way, the chart
gives information about other students in the group. From the standpoint of difficulty level of
questions, the percentage of students solving decimal fraction questions is very low, which is 62%.
From this viewpoint, the teacher should give more exercise pertaining to these questions, and
should teach them more carefuly. From the standpoint of remedial teaching, Imran requires remedial
teaching, else he will lag behind in the class. Thus, the above diagnostic chart is a blueprint of the
weakness and difficulties of students. In indicates about a particular student what error he has
committed and where, and what remedy can be arranged for him.
