Teachers’ Planning and Preparation for Lesson Plan in the Implementation of Form 4 Physical Education Curriculum for the Physical Fitness Strand

Abstract

This article is related to the study of lesson planning prepared by secondary school
Physical Education teachers in the Gombak district. Findings of the study show
that Physical Education teachers have prepared lesson plans at satisfactory level
(M = 4.13; SD = 0.79). All elements within the lesson planning components
achieved high mean scores. The elements include topic of lesson (M = 4.50; SD =
.65); sub topics (M = 4.28; SD =.81); lesson objectives (M = 4.36; SD = .69);
preparation of teaching materials (M = 4.08; SD = .88); reflection (M = 4.37; SD
=.70); and teaching activities (M = 4.00; SD = .82). It was also found that teaching
activities planned by teachers consisted of set induction, warming up,
demonstration by teacher and students, class exercises, group exercises, simple
games, stretching or recovery, questioning or discussion, assessment and tasking.
On the whole, the aspects of planning and preparation among Physical Education
teachers towards lesson planning components were more inclined toward the
element of teaching topics.
