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.
1.2 What is the difference between a lesson outcome and a lesson objective? example of each.
