1.1 Describe your understanding of “lesson planning”. (4)
Lesson planning is the activity which the teacher performs before the actual lesson takes
place. A lesson plan is a detailed description of the instructional strategies and learning
activities to be performed during the teaching/learning process.
Lesson planning must specify the topic to be taught, the class grade or level, and year, the
name of the school, the identity of the teacher, the duration of the lesson, and various steps
of the lesson presentation. The planning occurs in steps or stages that build up from
beginning to delivery, through the middle of the delivery to the end of the delivery. The
teaching media or resources which will be used during the lesson presentation should be
stated in the lesson plan. Some lesson plans use a lesson development concept rather than
specifying steps in the lesson presentation.
This important preparation involves the following:
Identification of learning as well as teaching objectives, activities and tasks to be
undertaken by both the learners and the teacher/instructor.
Sequencing of these activities and tasks.
Determining appropriate instruction aids, methods and references.
Deciding the proper organisation and or management of the learning resource
available, environment and activities.
Determining evaluation process i.e. how the learner shall be deemed to have
acquired the desired chance of behaviour or mastery of content and/or skills.
The importance of lesson planning is that it enables the teacher to read ahead in order to
enrich the content area and skill to be taught, to have confidence during the actual
teaching/learning process and to logically present the content standards for effective
learning.
