The Analysis of Teachers' Lesson Plan through Behavioral Objectives Theory

摘要

A lesson plan is a necessary product of lesson study where teachers have the authority to formulate their statements. However, further investigation is necessary to ensure the criteria of lesson plan making are fulfilled. Therefore, this study is objected to analyze teachers' lesson plan through behavioral objectives theory in preparing English learning activities. It employs a qualitative method by applying descriptive study as its framework. Three lesson plans, written by English teachers in senior high schools, were analyzed using descriptive analysis. The data were obtained from document analysis, where theories from Anderson & Krathwohl (2001), Krathwohl as cited in Allen & Friedman (2010), Dave (1975), and Schwier as cited in Zerwas (2008) were adapted in analyzing the documents. The result revealed that the objective statements are congruent with the goals of the 2013 curriculum since the lesson plans reflected learner-centered activities. However, improvements are needed due to completing 'ABCD' and three learning domains in objective statements. The study concludes by suggesting teachers to participate in professional activities including lesson planning to assist them in creating high-quality classroom instruction.
