Lesson Plan

 Lesson Plan 

Importance of Lesson Planning:

Save time: A good curriculum saves a lot of unnecessary time that teachers and students usually spend on casual classes. It also improves the teacher's skills because the teacher focuses more on the concept than the next step.

Skills and Composition: A good curriculum has all the prerequisites for a good learning experience. This works. It defines the sequence of all classes and activities that teachers and students must perform. 

Use of the best teaching methods: By planning your program in advance, teachers are willing to think about the appropriate methods and methods for teaching concepts. This allows teachers to use best practices to facilitate learning. 

 

Guaranteed Student Engagement: Planned activities ensure that students participate in the learning process and peer learning takes place. A plan with effective assessment ensures that the student understands what the teacher is trying to present. This can be done with a random population that has not been properly evaluated. Student quality questions help students develop their thinking process.

Clarity: The teacher is works with plan and clarity. This helps her to focus on children and assist them better towards their goals. 

Framework: Lesson planning gives the teacher a solid framework and a sequence of events to follow.

Components of a lesson plan:

Needs Analysis: The teacher pre-evaluates the class to identify the individual and individual needs of the group. This assessment can be based on words, observations, or activities. Getting to know your students before planning lessons is always a good start.

 Lesson Objectives: These define what the teacher wants the students to learn or understand. Clear objectives help teachers to be specific in class and avoid any discussion on off topics.Concepts are introduced gradually through various activities and discussions. Teachers also ensure the ability to relate current concepts to previous concepts.

Lesson Content, sequence of learning and linking to previous lesson.

Resources: All materials to help teachers during class are included. Examples include PPT, audio, video, diagrams, manuals, and computers. This list varies by topic.

 Procedure:the steps and steps a teacher must go through to deliver a lecture. This can include regular classroom preparation programs, strategies to introduce specific topics, related questions that encourage students to think, specific examples, and more.

Herbartian Steps of Lesson Planning

➢ Preparation: Number of questions are asked to check their knowledge. These questions raise curiosity in them and help them get ready for new knowledge.

➢ Presentation: Students play important role in this step. Teacher develops the lesson by engaging students in activities and discussion which stimulates their mental activeness.

➢ Comparison or Association: In this step, the facts and application taught is compare and associated with previous knowledge and other subjects. This is done to stabilize and clarify the concepts in the minds of students.

➢ Generalization: This step is known as ‘system’ by Herbart. In this, the students are motivated to think about the link of their new knowledge to different situations. This step pushes their thinking to another level of learning.

➢ Application: In this step, students are provided activities and questions to check whether they are able to use their newly acquired knowledge in understanding and solving these real life problems. This stabilizes their knowledge and validity of the laws and concepts learned.

➢ Recapitalization:  The important points of the entire lesson are mentioned again to provide a summary of the class experience. Some questions also may be asked in this time to check students’ understanding of the concepts.
