Herbart’s method of lesson plan consists of five steps: (1) Preparation (2)
Presentation (3) Comparison and Association (4) Generalization, and (5)
Application. Though the five step method emphasis important features of
good teaching, but it is not applicable as a whole to all teaching situations
and at all levels of instruction. In the present scenario one has to give
importance to the teacher’s creativity in planning, innovation in teaching, and
time factor, a lesson plan can be a simple one!
(1) Preparation
(2) Presentation
(3) Application, and
(4) Testing
Step – 1: Preparation
The first step of a lesson plan is preparation. Preparation includes both
instructor’s preparation as well as the learner’s preparation. You must
prepare yourself to state the objectives clearly. The duration of quality time of
teaching depends on clearly stated objectives. If the objectives are not clear,
the teaching time may exceed more than the allotted time. The learner’s
participation can be invited by asking introductory questions, and thought
provoking questions. You may ask questions to link the learner’s previous
knowledge to the present topic. You can motivate the learners by telling the
purpose of learning of the particular lesson with suitable examples. In
preparation stage you must remember following points:
Precise title of the lesson
Instructional objectives to be achieved after instruction
Essential teaching aids
Create willingness to learn by appropriate motivation
Review previous knowledge to connect the present lesson
Selection of teaching methods
Planning for learner participation for active learning
Assignment to be given
Over all time required for teaching and
Feedback activities
Proper planning leads to success. Instructor has the responsibility to improve
the knowledge, skill, and attitude of the learner. You have to mould the
trainees from unskilled level to skilled level. The success of moulding
proficient and competent trainees depends on your experience in teaching
4 Plan your Lesson M.SARAVANA
purpose of teaching will fail. Learners learn at different rates. All will not have
same capacity to learn. Some learners will understand the subject well and
store the knowledge gained in their permanent memory. Whereas some of
them may store in their cache memory, in which they will forget as soon as
you finish your teaching! Therefore it is your responsibility to check the
learners how much they followed your presentation, and learnt new
knowledge. After presentation it is desirable to provide opportunity to apply
the learners’ knowledge which they have gained. If theory, ask simple and
direct questions, probing questing, connected to the lesson. If practical
demonstration, you may ask the learners to imitate the demonstration. If the
learners are given opportunity to apply the knowledge and skill gained, they
will not forget easily the subject you taught. Your presentation will also be
successful!
Step – 4: Testing
The fourth step- testing is considered as the most essential one in any
teaching learning situation. The quality and quantity of achievement is
determined at this step. Test is a tool to evaluate the knowledge as well as the
skill level of a learner. Evaluation is a process to find out to what extend the
instructional objectives are achieved by the learners. Teaching or training one
must be meaningful only when the learner has completely acquired the
intended knowledge and skill. Therefore, as an instructor your responsibility
is not only effective teaching but also to determine the abilities attained by the
learners. The test may be written, oral or performance. It is important to you
to know how much your teaching is successful, and also to the learners where
they are standing in their class. After the test, evaluation must be done.
Through evaluation you must try to bring the average and below average
students to above average and excellent levels.
(5) Review
The fact that the learners are physically present in the class does not
necessarily mean that they are mentally ready to receive your presentation.
Before teaching a new lesson to the class, you should make the learners to be
ready or prepared to receive, the new lesson. As part of the preparation, one of
the first things you have to do in a class is to discuss the important topics of
the previous lesson. Here you can ask questions about the previous lessons to
make sure that the learners have remembered what you taught in the
previous class. You may tell the importance of present lesson with previous
lesson by linking the main points. If the lesson is a first lesson in a class, in
that case instead of linking previous lesson, you can review the previous
knowledge gained by the learners.
(6) Motivation
Motivation is creating willingness. As an instructor, you must create interest
and willingness towards learning by telling the purpose of learning with
suitable examples. Method of creating interest in the minds of learner to learn
the new lesson must be written briefly.
(7) Presentation
After preparation, presentation of the subject matter of the lesson is to be
followed. In a lesson plan format, the presentation stage consists of three
columns namely, Topic, Information Point, and Spot Hints. By referring the
objectives which are stated in the preparation step, each topic must be
explained briefly in a logical sequence. Brief hints, formula, symbols may be
added in the hints column. You need to write the information in brief.
Detailed explanation may be given in the information sheet or notes of lesson
which you need to prepare for each lesson plan.
(8) Topics
The important points of the lesson as planned are to be developed with
catchwords written clearly so that you can refer and pickup at a glance.
Complete information need not be written under the topic column. Selected
topics according to the lesson to be taken so as to reach the aim or fulfill the
objectives of the lesson. This has to be written in sequential order.
(11) Application
Learning takes place only when the learner has an opportunity to apply the
knowledge to various situations. Necessary time for applications of knowledge
may not be available in the class during presentation. Hence the manner in
which such opportunities are provided in respect of the subject matter
covered in the lesson must be stated in the application stage. There is a
separate step for test and assignment, so avoid asking complicated questions
at this stage. Ask simple and direct questions related to the topics. This is an
opportunity for the learners to answer the questions and showing their level of
understanding. You may clarify the learners’ doubt. Interact with them. After
questioning, remember to Receive the answer (yes, yes, nodding your head,
etc.), Reward the answer (good, very good, etc.), and Repeat the answer.
(12) Summary
After the presentation, and interaction, you may feel good that your learners
followed your instruction, and understand the lesson. Now this is a time to
sum up all the important topics of the lesson taught in the class. In the
summary time, you must emphasis and reinforce the points, which are
important to the lesson. Main topics of the lesson may be written under
summary or you can recapitulate the main points of the lesson.
(13) Test
At this step, comprehensive questions about the lesson taken should be asked
to the learners. This can be done either by oral or in written form.
(14) Assignment
Series of questions about the lesson already taken are to be written under
assignment. Related problems, exercises, drawing of sketches including
various types of questions like objective and subjective types can be given as
separate assignment sheet.

CONCLUSION
A simple format of a Lesson Plan which is described in this chapter is a
simple procedure applicable to any instructional situation. It is logical to
proceed by first gaining the attention and interest of the learner in a teaching
process. When this is accomplished, then presenting the information to the
learner, providing opportunity to practice the information learnt, and finally
determining what the learner has actually learnt, is the natural sequence of
teaching. Once a Lesson Plan is developed, it may be used repeatedly with
slight changes to accommodate individual or group differences, and
technological changes. Periodically the Lesson Plan should be renewed, so
that the obsolete and old items can be removed and new developments and
changes can be accommodated. Lesson Plan can be modified according to the
level of the learners in the class, educational or training institute’s
requirements and also personal interests of an instructor.

have to waste your time, your learners’ time, and probably a considerable
amount of your employer’s money.
Following illustration will present a clear distinction between Goal, Aim, and
Objective.
GOAL
Goals are broad, generalized statements about what is to be learned.
Educational goals are general aim or purpose of education that is stated as a
broad, long-range outcome to work toward. Goals are used primarily in policy
making and general programme planning. The terms ‘goals’ and ‘objectives’
are sometimes used interchangeably. This is wrong. They are different. Goals
are broad and sometimes difficult to directly measure. Goals help us to focus
on the big and important picture.
Eg.1: The right of children to free and compulsory education is the main
goal of Right to Education act.
Eg.2: In instructor training, the trainees develop attitude to become a
competent instructors.
Plan your Lesson M.SARAVANA 45
AIM
Aim is the general declaration of intent that gives direction to a programme. In
other words, aim may be defined as an answer to the question of the type
‘what for a programme of personality development undertaken?’ and objective
as an answer to the question of the type ‘what will be achieved if the
programme is completed?’. “In educational discussions and in language
teaching, a hierarchical distinction is sometimes made between ‘goals’ as a
very broad and ultimate category, ‘aims’ as a more specific set of purposes,
and ‘objectives’ as the most precisely defined ends in view which can often be
described in terms of behavioural outcomes” according to Stern.H.H (1983).
OBJECTIVE
Objective is a point which one aims at reaching after a certain amount of
learning experience. Clearly defined objectives would not only help the
teachers and learners to understand what exactly they are supposed to do,
but also provide the means for evaluating their own achievements. The
statement of objectives is therefore expected to be specific, observable and
presented in performance terms. For example, achieving national integration
is one of the goals of education. But how this goal is going to be achieved is
required to be spell out through objectives!
1) The Assistant will be able to list the principles of noting and drafting.
2) The Section Officer will be able to manage the records of his office.

2. SMART Method
3. ABCD Method
4. Gagné and Briggs Method
MAGER’S METHOD
As per Robert Mager (1975), for stating objectives there are three elements to
be included, or at least considered:
1) A statement of the performance to be achieved by the trainee. This
enables the acquisition of knowledge and the development of skills to
be focused only on what is essential.
2) A statement of the conditions under which it is being done. This
enables the learning event and assessment to include conditions
needed for effective transfer to job performance.
3) A statement of the minimum standards of performance a trainee must
attain. This enables us to check accurately if the trainee has achieved
the objective. Equally important, it tells the trainee what is expected to
be achieved.
48 Plan your Lesson M.SARAVANA
The first element ‘Performance’ is a very important element of all the objective
statements; whereas the other two may be added subject to the need of
specificity. This means that the objective statement must include the
performance to be carried out by the learner. If necessary the conditions
under which that performance must be carried out should also be included.
Similarly the acceptable standards of performance a learner must attain, if it
needs to be specified may also be added.
Examples:
1. Performance:
a. The trainee will be able to type a business letter.
b. The trainee will be able to list the advantages of internet.
2. Performance with Condition:
a. The accountant will be able to calculate the revised pay using
the fitment table.
b. The DTP operator will be able to modify the design with the help
of the latest user friendly software.
3. Performance with Conditions and Standards:
a. The data entry operator will be able type 40 wpm without error.
b. The police officer will be able to fire 5 rounds in 3 seconds from
his service revolver on a 25 yard range.
1. Specific – Objectives should specify exactly what the learner will be able to achieve.
2. Measurable - Should be able to measure whether you are meeting the objectives or not.
3. Achievable - Are the objectives you set, achievable and attainable?
4. Realistic – Can you realistically achieve the objectives with the resources you have?
5. Time bound – When do you want to achieve the set objectives?
(2) Behaviour
This describes the learner’s capability. It must be observable and
measurable. The ‘behaviour’ can include demonstration of knowledge or
skills in any of the domains of learning: cognitive, psychomotor,
affective, or interpersonal
E.g.1: ..… will be able to write a report…
E.g.2: …will be able to describe the steps…
(3) Condition
Under what circumstances or context will the learning occur?
Conditions describe the relevant factors associated with the desired
performance.
Equipment or tools that may be utilized in completion of the behaviour.
Environmental conditions may also be included
E.g.1: …after observing the demonstration ..…
E.g.2.: …run 100 meters in a track / up a hill …
(4) Degree
States the standard for acceptable performance (time, accuracy,
proportion, quality, etc) how well will the behaviour need to be
performed?
E.g.1: … without error.
E.g.2: …within 60 seconds.
1. Situation
2. Learned Capability
3. Object
4. Action
5. Tools and Other Constraints
The components of the Gagné and Briggs format match Mager's condition,
performance, and criterion, only to add the object, content of the learning
activity as well as the tools used. Gagné and Briggs were among the early
developers of the concept of Instructional Systems.
Some examples of Gagné & Briggs objectives:
A complete classification system was developed for the Cognitive and Affective
domains by the Bloom and Krathwohl committees. Though the form of
Psychomotor domain was not universally accepted by the academic scholars
as a ‘complete classification’, Simpson (1972), Harrow (1972), Dave (1975)
prepared the major components of Psychomotor domain for various
instructional strategies.
Cognitive Domain:
The cognitive domain (Bloom, 1956) involves knowledge and the development
of intellectual abilities. This includes the recall or recognition of specific facts,
procedural patterns, and concepts that serve in the development of mental
abilities. There are six major categories, which are listed in order, starting
from the simplest behaviour to the most complex. The categories can be
thought of as degrees of difficulties. That is, the first ones must normally be
mastered before the next ones can take place. The categories of Cognitive
domain are: Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis,
and Evaluation.
Affective Domain:
The affective domain (Krathwohl, Bloom, Masia, 1973) includes the manner in
which we deal with things emotionally, such as feelings, values, appreciation,
enthusiasms, motivations, and attitudes. The five major categories are listed
from the simplest behaviour to the most complex: Receiving, Responding,
Valuing, Organization, and Internalizing values
Psychomotor Domain:
The psychomotor domain (Simpson, 1972) includes physical movement,
coordination, and use of the motor-skill areas. Development of these skills
requires practice and is measured in terms of speed, precision, distance,
procedures, or techniques in execution. The seven major categories are listed
from the simplest behaviour to the most complex: Perception, Set, Guided
response, Mechanism, Complex response, Adaptation, and Origination.
52 Plan your Lesson M.SARAVANA
Cognitive – Cite, define, describe, name, recite, recognize, modify, verify, etc.
Affective – Realize, behave, cooperate, accept, characterize, customize,
organize, etc.
Psychomotor – Write, repair, type, run, jump, stitch, pull, push, remove,
operate, etc.
Action Verbs are listed separately in the Appendix A. You can categorize and
make use of it to write the objectives properly.
“It is my intention, apart from the alleviation of all kind of hardship, to promote the
Moral, Physical, and Intellectual development of the people.”
- Robert Bosch (1861-1942)
CONCLUSION
The basic definition of an objective is that it is a statement of what a learner
must do to show that he or she has learned. This is a statement of the
performance or outcome to be achieved. This chapter ‘Writing Objectives for
a Lesson Plan’ emphasized the importance of stating instructional objectives
as learning outcomes and of defining each objective in terms of observable
learner behaviour. Various methods of writing objectives, the procedures for
selecting and using behaviourally defined objectives have also been described
and illustrated. Now you will be able to identify proper action verbs to state
the instructional objectives for your lesson plan of each instructional unit that
you are teaching. The Appendix A will help you to choose action verbs to
write the instructional objectives related to your field. Sample objectives are
listed in Appendix B related to various trades and behaviours which can be
used as a reference.
