Abstract
This descriptive study was conducted to determine the quality of lesson plans
made by secondary schools science teachers in Agoo, La Union S.Y. 2001-2002, within
one month during the third grading period which is the first month of this grading period
The descriptive method involved the use of documentary analysis and
questionnaire which provides the necessary profile of secondary schools science teachers.
Significant differences among the variables were determined. All secondary
schools science teachers in Agoo formulated their objectives mostly under cognitive
domain. Each year level has the same PSSLC but they made use of different topics. First
year secondary science teachers have the highest of values integrated followed by the
, third year science teachers. While second and fourth year secondary science teachers
never integrated. Other salient findings were only first year science teacher who made use
skills to impart their lessons. On the other hand, most of them uses different motivational
technique as well as in evaluating their students' ability acquired from them. Likewise,
secondary school science teachers gave assignment from both types which are drawn
from the day's lesson and next or new topic.
Further findings are that, age and years of teaching are the profile of science
teachers which has no relationship among variables in lesson planning. While the
seminars or trainings attended has a correlation to variables in lesson planning.
Most of the secondary schools science teachers are generally young. This means
that science teachers are more perceptive to change and are more open to new trends in
science teaching. Of the 14 teacher-respondents, all of them had participated in a seminar.
Secondary school science teachers are also "neophyte", Majority of them are teaching
within 1-10 years. This means teachers retired early or because of some constraints
therefore few science teachers teaching in a longer duration.
Of the 14 science teachers in Agoo formulated their objectives mostly under
cognitive domain. Each year level have the same PSSLC but they made use of different
topics. First year science teachers have the highest of values integrated, followed by the
science teachers who made use of skills to impart their lessons. Likewise, most of them
uses different motivational technique as well as in evaluating their students' ability or
acquired knowledge from them. Same through they gave assignment from both types.
Among the profile of teachers, age and years of teaching are the profile which has
no relationship with the variables indicated in lesson planning. While the seminars and
trainings attended has a correlation to variables in lesson planning.
Based on the findings, only first year secondary schools science teachers construct
quality lesson plan because they made use of all the variables indicated in lesson
planning. Secondary schools science teachers construct their lesson plan with equal
emphasis along the different variables to have a quality lesson plan. Secondary schools
science teachers should established laboratory rooms and improvised equipment to
enable them to cope with current and future needs for science experiments/activities.
Secondary schools science teachers should follow topics based on their PSSLC to
enhance effective learning. Science teachers should improve their teaching through the
use of modem techniques in science instruction, that a special evaluation program in the
division level should be designed to measure the degree in which modem objectives in
science instruction are implemented and attained by the students, and the use of
evaluation items that are reflective of the objectives be emphasized. In order to contribute
to the development of the society, there is a need to upgrade and to enrich the teaching
methodologies to have more productive results particularly in achieving changes in
attitude and values which must be reflected in a marked change in conduct and behavior
of the products of the school. Teachers should be encouraged to pursue their masters
degree; that in-service trainings in science should be held at the beginning of the school
year; and that administrators should invite resource persons or specialists in science to
talk on trends and techniques in teaching science.
