THE CRITERIA The criteria for classification of lesson plan are as follows: TIME-DURATION (Daily, monthly, weekly, annual) APPROACH ( Herbartian , Bloom’s, Gloverian , RCEM, etc) DOMAIN (LP affecting : cognitive, affective & psychomotor domain)
APROACHES TO LESSON PLAN HERBARTIAN APPROACH BLOOM’S APROACH GLOVERIAN APPROACH RCEM APPROACH SKILL APPROACH
HERBART Â John Fedrik Herbatrt : 1776-1841 German Philosopher who identified teaching units /activities in 5 steps
HERBARTIAN APPROACH Involves the following steps : 1. PREPARATION 2. PRESENTATION 3. ASSOCIATION/COMPARISON 4. GENERALIZATION 5. APPLICATION 6. SYSTEMATIZATION/RECAPITULATION
 BLOOM’S APPROACH Bloom (1961) considered education as a Tripolar process : Formulating Educational Objectives Creating learning experiences and Evaluating Change of Behavior.Â
According to Bloom, education should be objective-centered rather than content-centered. This approach has following features:Â
Education is a purposeful process and all the educational activities are objective centered Includes the total behavioural change of the students
 Evaluates the objectives, methods and instructional aids of providing learning experiences Covers cognitive, affective and psychomotor learning outcomesÂ
GLOVERIAN APPROACH Involves the following components : 1. QUESTIONING 2. DISCUSSION 3. INVESTIGATION 4. PUPIL ACTIVITY/EXPRESSION
RCEM APPROACH This approach was developed by the Regional College of Education, Mysore , Karnataka, India.
RCEM consists of three aspects as follows : 1. INPUT 2. PROCESS 3. OUTCOME
RCEM-INPUT Input refers to the objectives of the plan. They are known as expected behavoiural outcome. (EBO). They are clsiified into following categories :
RCEM-PROCESS The process refers to the teaching strategies. They are: Communication strategy. Instructional aids. Learning situation. Technique of motivation
RCEM-OUTCOME Refers to the real learning outcome. This includes general and specific objectives.
RCEM FORMAT-LESSON PLAN Name of the teacher : Name of the subject : Name of the topic : Name of the unit :

TYPES LESSON PLANS HERBARTIAN LESSON PLAN SKILL LESSON PLAN APPRECIATION LESSON PLAN
HERBARTIAN APPROACH Involves the following steps : 1. PREPARATION 2. PRESENTATION 3. ASSOCIATION/COMPARISON 4. GENERALIZATION 5. APPLICATION 6 . SYSTEMATIZATION/RECAPITULATION
SKILL LESSON PLAN Involves two types of skills : 1. MECHANICAL. 2. MANIPILATION.
SKILL LP CONTENTS The contents include: METHODS OF TEACING DEMONSTRATION VERBAL INSTRUCTION
APPRECIATION LESSON PLAN Aims at developing aesthetic sense by the following steps : PREPARATION PRESENTATION CONTEMPLATION APPLICATION
TYPE BASED ON THE CONTENT The lesson plan could be of the following types based on the contents : 1. DETAILED /ELABORATE LESSON PLAN. 2. SEMI DETAILED LESSON PLAN. 3. SKELETAL OUTLINE/BRIEF LESSON PLAN
DETAILED LESSON PLAN The teacher makes a detailed lesson plan and puts down all the class room activities. The teacher visualizes in advance all the activities of the learner with an intention of tailoring the teaching learning activities.
SEMI DETAILED LESSON PLAN This type of lesson plan omits the learner’s activity. It contains only the lesson and procedural steps.
BRIEF LESSON PLAN An expert teacher usually makes a brief lesson plan. The time saves may be devoted to other teaching learning activities.
TIME BASED LESSON PLAN
SHORT DAILY PLAN Teachers who teach regularly on daily basis are expected to keep their lesson plans on regular basis.
Administrators design lesson plan format for a uniform design of lesson plan for each subject. Daily plans if kept ready minimizes suffering if the teacher has to be replaced another in case of leave or absenteeism.
Many teachers resort to this type of lesson plan. It is essential that the lesson plans are kept ready even if there no demand for them, so that when required the teacher may handle the class in a systematic manner.
WEEKLY/LONGER PLAN Teachers are trained to be ready with their subject plans on weekly basis on the whole during their training period. This helps to master teaching skill which ensures quality during their actual classes.
SUBJECT/UNIT PLAN The unit plan represents a careful planning of u nified activity for the pupils. The various types of unit plan include : subject units, experience units, resource units and dynamic units.
