Yet some English teachers have still face difficulty in developing effective and
systematic lesson plan for a teaching program. Moreover the aims of this research
were; (1) to analyse teacher’s lesson plan based on Curriculum 2013, the researcher
focuses on indicator, purpose, material, learning activities, and assessment (2) to
investigate the compatibility of the lesson plan with its implementation in the
classroom. The researcher used qualitative research in which the data were collected
through document and observation. There were three English teachers of SMPN 17
Banda Aceh. Thus the results of the research were; (1) the teachers do not create their
lesson plan based on the Curriculum, especially in creating indicators (2) the teachers
do not implement the lesson plan in the classroom, they teach with traditional method
which the teacher is a center of teaching and learning.

INTRODUCTION

This chapter discusses the background of the study along with research

question, the aim, significance, and terminology.

A. Background of the Study

At the end of 2012, Indonesia’s ministry education had announced the change

of new curriculum named curriculum 2013. This changed curriculum would be

applied to all level education from primary to secondary (Habiburrahim, 2018). The

newest curriculum was expected to increase the quality and character of Indonesia’s

education based on the globalization era. It emphasized competencies like cognitive,

affective, and psychomotor. This curriculum used scientific-based which several

procedures start from observing, questioning, experimenting, and communicating.

Due to several competencies which teacher should achieve, it committed the teacher

to be more creative and well prepared before teaching and learning process. Thus, it

needed to plan the lesson plan as suggested by Indonesia’s ministry of education.

The lesson plan is very important to the achievement of the intended target

here is the completion of the entire learning material or material that has been

determined by the curriculum (Burghes, 2009). Brown (2011) also states that the

lesson plan has major influence to achieve the successful teaching and learning

process. It helps teachers to certify the classroom instruction aligns with curriculum

goals and objectives. Moreover, it allows students to determine their successful

1
 2

learning in the unit or lesson. Lessons are not only given on how and what students

learn, but they also influence student attitudes toward language learning.

The successfully teaching process in the class is controlled by the plan of a

good lesson plan following the syllabus succeed the standard of the teaching and

learning activities. The teacher needs to set the lesson plan structurally to achieve the

result as attractive and fun learning as states by Brewster (2013) lesson plan is a clear

objective with range activities which produce fun learning. In designing lesson is no

easy task, it is a long process for the teacher. Many steps should contain in the lesson

plan. Curriculum 2013 has set the student at the main focus during the teaching and

learning process. The material has to assist the students to be more active in the class

while the teacher as the facilitator during the learning and teaching process.

The ministry of education had set the framework of the lesson plan in which

teacher must follow and apply in the learning and teaching process. In the minister of

education and culture regulation No. 65 the year 2013 on the standard process, the

minister has made many seminars and workshops to help the teacher in setting the

lesson plan during the first launching of the new curriculum at that time. Yet many

teachers still struggle with designing the lesson plan. There are some English teachers

who still face difficulty in developing effective and systematic lesson plan for a

teaching program. In developing lesson plan, they tend to imitate or even copy the

ones provided in the textbook and the internet. Indeed, there are some teachers of

English who do not prepare and develop the lesson plans and let whatever is
 3

happening in the classroom as well as there are some of them who do a ‘corridor

planning’ in their head as they walk to the classroom (Harmer, 2007). As a

consequence, still many educational units have not been able to develop and prepare

curriculum 2013 independently, especially Syllabus and Lesson Plan (RPP) subjects

in English in junior high school (SMP). Prior researches have been found that many

teachers substandard in implementing the lesson plan. It is reported that 65% from

130.000 of Indonesia teacher mastery on lesson plan remains appalling (alwasilah,

2012). It also many teachers develop poor lesson plan as stated by Jalongo (2007).

There are much research had been conducted by other researchers about the

implementation of the lesson plan. Yet, this study aims to figure out the suitability of

the lesson plan that the teacher has planned during the teaching and learning process.

This study will be investigated in SMP Negeri 17 Banda Aceh there are only 3

teachers that will be a sample in this research. Thus, the researcher initiated to

research in title The Analysis of Teachers’ Lesson Plan and Its Implementation in the

Classroom.

B. Research Question

To address the problem, this study guided by the following research

questions;

1. How English teacher at SMP Negeri 17 Banda Aceh implement their lesson

plan in the teaching and learning process?

 4

C. The Aim of Study

Based on the research question above, the aims of this study are to analyse the

teachers’ lesson plan and to investigate the compatibility of the lesson plan with its

implementation in the classroom.

D. The Significance of the Study

The result of this research can be a reference for the English teacher to enrich

their literature on implementing the lesson plan. Hopefully, it may enrich their insight

to provide the right method in teaching language. This research could also be a

reference for researchers who are conducting a similar topic or theme, which later can

enrich information in the literature.

E. Terminologies

1. Lesson plan

Farrel (2002) states that a lesson is a unit where it is a series of lessons that

correlate around a particular theme or methodical record of a teacher's views about

what he/she will be discussed during the lesson. The lesson plan is written to how

students will move toward to achieve a certain purpose. It’s described that teaching

behaviour will give result in student learning. The lesson plan is to help the teacher in

planning the proses of learning especially for English language lesson. In the English

language subject, the effective purpose from lesson plan explains what students will

be able to do in terms of behaviour, using a foreign language, and observation (Shrum

dan Glisan, 2002).

 5

The lesson plan is explained as the procedure and management of study to

achieve one and more basic competence which is regulated in standard competence

and enlarged in the syllabus. It can be assumed that there are several activities and

organizations developed by the teacher in a plan of course to achieve based

competency appropriate in the curriculum. Those activities related to the works order

made by the teacher in developing the lesson plan likes setting the purpose of

learning, methods, indicators, and materials. These steps should do structurally to

meet students’ needs, interest, and students’ ability to adjust precisely.

 CHAPTER 2

LITERATURE REVIEW

In this chapter the researcher will explain some theories about lesson plan and

previous study that related to this research.

A. Definition of Curriculum 2013

Curriculum of 2013 is competency and character based curriculum.

Curriculum of 2013 was born as a response to the various criticisms of School Based

Curriculum 2006. It is in accordance with the development needs and the world of

work. According to enclosure of Minister of National Education Regulation Number

59 Year 2014 Curriculum of 2013 is one of the government's efforts to resolve the

various problems being faced by the world of education today. The theme of 2013

curriculum is generating Indonesian people which are: productive, creative,

innovative, affective; through the strengthening of attitudes, skills, and knowledge

which are integrated. Based on the theme, the implementation of 2013 curriculum is

expected to produce a productive, creative, and innovative human.

B. The Characteristic of Curriculum 2013

1. Emphasizing the attainment of the students’ competence individually and

classically;

2. Orienting toward learning outcomes, and diversity; using genre approaches in the

learning process and greatly is influenced with Systematic Functional Grammar

of Halliday (1987);

6
 7

3. Accepting any other educative learning sources besides teachers; Emphasizing its

evaluation on the learning process and outcomes in acquiring or attaining a

certain competence;

4. Using special terms such as Standar Kompetensi (Standard of Competence) refers

to a minimum statement covering knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values which

are reflected in the way of thinking and acting after students learned and finished

one of the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing);

Kompetensi Dasar (Basic Competence) refers to a minimum statement covering

knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values which are reflected in the way of thinking

and acting after students learned and finished one of the four language skills

(listening, speaking, reading, and writing); Indikator (Achievement Indicators)

refers to a specific basic competence that can be taken as a standard to assess the

attainment of a learning process; Materi Pokok (Core Materials) refers to

materials or lessons that students have to learn in a learning process.

Based on the Minister of National Education Regulation Number 59 Year

2014, Curriculum of 2013 is designed with the following Characteristics:

1. Developing a balance between spiritual and social attitudes, knowledge, and

skills, and applying them in various situations in the school and community.

2. Developing the competencies expressed in terms of class core competencies

which is specified more in basic competence of subjects.

 8

3. Developing class core competence into organizing elements of basic

competence. All the basic competencies and learning processes are developed

to achieve the competence stated in core competencies.

4. Developing a basic competence based on the accumulative principle, mutually

reinforced and enriched between subjects and education level (horizontal and

vertical organizations).

C. Definition of Lesson Plan

Farrel (2002) states that a lesson is a unit where it is a series of lessons that

correlate around a particular theme or methodical record of a teacher's views about

what he/she will be discussed during the lesson. The lesson plan is written to how

students will move toward to achieve a certain purpose. It’s described that teaching

behaviour will give result in student learning. The lesson plan is to help the teacher in

planning the proses of learning especially for English language lesson. In the English

language subject, the effective purpose from lesson plan explains what students will

be able to do in terms of behaviour, using a foreign language, and observation (Shrum

dan Glisan, 2002).

The lesson plan is explained as the procedure and management of study to

achieve one and more basic competence which is regulated in standard competence

and enlarged in the syllabus. It can be assumed that there are several activities and

organizations developed by the teacher in the lesson plan to achieve based

competency appropriate in the curriculum. Those activities related to the works order
 9

made by the teacher in developing the lesson plan likes setting the purpose of

learning, methods, indicators, and materials. These steps should do structurally to

meet students’ needs, interest, and students’ ability to adjust precisely.

Harmer (2007) states that lesson plan as teaching preparation which

developed based on teachers’ view about the proper process for students’ and

curriculum expectations. It is explained that the lesson plan is a teaching-learning

process developed by the teacher based on the students' needs through the observation

and related to the point of the curriculum. If a teacher does not examine the students’

need, interest, ability, students’ learning style, and curriculums’ goals, it is ensured

that the originating of the lesson plan is not effectively works.

Another opinion says that the lesson plan is a sequence of learning plans that

can provide direction for a teacher about the material that must be taught and also

tells how to teach the material (Spratt, Pulverness and Williams, 2005). In the lesson

plan, the teachers are required to be creative in teaching relevant material. This will

refer to what the curriculum says. With the lesson plan, the teaching and learning

process will be far more organized and better prepare teachers to deliver the material.

Besides, the lesson plan also provides a new way of learning, namely by applying

appropriate and effective methods and strategies. Thus, the lesson plan is a sequence

of learning prepared by the teacher to achieve an effective teaching and learning

process based on the curriculum.

 10

The lesson plan is also interpreted as a form of collaborative practice, a

school-based professional development initiative that aims to improve teaching and

learning through the methodology of sharing professional practice (Burghes, 2009).

This theory says that the lesson plan process starts with collaboration techniques

through sharing works. From this theory, the researcher analyses that this theory is

related to the methodology for improving teacher teaching abilities. Then Dudley

(2014) states that the lesson plan is a very particular form of classroom action

research that focuses on improving teacher training knowledge. This theory defines

lesson plan as research related to the development of teacher teaching skills. Dudley

considered that lesson study is not only an aim to enhance the quality of English

teaching but also as a research process to gain teaching knowledge and methods in

classroom activities.

D. The Function of Lesson Plan

Harmer (1991) argued that teachers and students will find the lesson not

meaningful and interesting without lesson plan. The bad conditions are the students

undermined to learn English. If teachers do not think what they are going to do, it

means they do something useless at all. Those are the reasons why lesson plan is

essential. According to the Minister of National Regulation Number 65 Year 2013

about the Standard Process every teacher must develop lesson plan completely and

systematically so that teaching-learning can be administered interactively, fun,

challenging and can encourage students to participate actively as well as can give
 11

sufficient space for their creativity and autonomy based on their interest, inmates and

also their physic and psychology development. It means that the teacher must be

develop the lesson plan systematically based on students’ interest, ability, and so

forth as well as to encourage students to be active and creative in their learning

activities.

E. The Components of Lesson Plan

Before starting to design the lesson plan, it is important for the teacher to

understand the components that consist in the lesson plan. The components help

teacher in contructing the lesson plan effectivelly and can achive the teaching and

lerning goal. Dick and Riser as cited in Bidaria (2013) explain that there are six

components in lesson plan; indicators, objectives, activities, material, intructional

media, and assessment. Specifically, as determined by the Decree of the Minister of

Education No. 103 (2014) the lesson plan components of the 2013 Curriculum, are:

identification of subjects, core competence, basic competence, competence of

indicator achievement, learning materials, steps in learning activities, assessments,

remedial work, enrichment activities, teaching-learning media, instruments and

learning resources.

1. Indicator of Standard Competence Achievement

 The indicators of standard competence achievement are developed from KI

and KD. They developed for basic competence in all main competences 1, 2, 3,

and 4.
 12

 The operational verbs used are suitable with the competences that want to be

measured.

 The indicators of standard competence achievement are in line with attitude

(affective), knowledge (cognitive), and skill (psychomotor) aspects.

2. Objectives

 The objectives contain behaviour which is the result of the study. The

behaviour is formulated into the form of operational verbs. The objectives do

not cause double interpretation and developed for basic competence in all main

competences 1, 2, 3, and 4.

 The objectives are developed from the indicator and basic competence which

is in the curriculum.

3. Material

 The materials are selected based on the objectives.

 The extent of instructional materials is suitable with the characteristics of the

students (including fast and slow learners high-motivated and less-motivated

learners). The students have different ability should be given the different

learning service.

 The possibility of the materials can be achieved in time allocated.

 13

4. Teaching Activity

 Teaching activity has to provide some steps: pre-, whilst, and post and to use

the scientific approach (observing, questioning, exploring, associating, and

communicating).

 Teaching activity selected can ease the students to comprehend the materials.

 Each learning stage has to show the steps and proportional time should be

given for each, for example: 5-10% of time is for introduction, 70-80% is for

the main lesson, and 10-15% is for closing.

5. Assessment

 The authentic assessments are in line with knowledge (cognitive), skill

(psychomotor), and attitude (affective) aspects. Kinds of authentic assessment:

performance assessment, project assessment, portfolio, and written assessment.

 For example, writing test is to measure the comprehension of material,

performance test is to measure performance skill, and the scale of attitude is to

measure attitude.

6. Resource

 The resource selected can be used to achieve the objective or the competence

which has been set, for example: book, “When English Rings The Bell”,

module, audio visual, and others.

 The resource selected enables students to comprehend the material and is

described in detail and is suitable with scientific approach.

 14

 The resource selected is suitable with the level of cognitive development,

affective characteristics, and psychometric skill of the students.

F. The Benefits of Implementing Lesson Study

There are some benefits in applying lesson study. Based on Yoshida (2005)

lesson study works because it helps teachers to:

1) Lesson study can eliminate the isolated feeling of the teacher when he or she

taught for the first time.

2) Lesson study helps teacher to evaluate and criticize the teaching English strategy

before he or she apply in the class.

3) Lesson study makes the teacher more understand about the material, lesson and

the curriculum coverage.

4) Lesson study helps the teacher focusing on the students learning process in the

class and how to conduct the class.

5) Lesson study exchanges the knowledge, experiences and upgrades the

collaboration between teachers.

The other benefits of lesson study are also mentioned by Lewis in

Tampubolon (2013). Lewis stated that lesson study is not only as the contribution of

improving knowledge and professionalism of the teacher but also as the as the

contribution in the developing the quality of education. Lewis (2006) show how

lesson study results in instructional improvement: lesson study strengthens three

pathways to instructional improvement:

 15

1) Teachers’ knowledge,

2) teachers’ commitment and community, and

3) Learning resources.

Examples of the three pathways:

1) Teachers’ knowledge

 Knowledge of subject matter

 Knowledge of instruction

 Capacity to observe learners

 Connection of daily practice to long-term goals

2) Teachers. commitment and community

 Motivation to improve

 Connection to colleagues who can provide help

 Sense of accountability to valued practice community

3) Learning resources

 Lesson plans that reveal and promote student thinking

 Tools that support collegial learning during lesson study

Lesson study does provide a bridge for the gap between knowledge acquired

by teachers about teaching and the actual implementation of that knowledge in the

classroom.
 16

G. Stages in Developing Lesson Plan

Based on Salinan Lampiran Permendikbud No. 81a Year 2013, Kerangka

Dasar dan Struktur Kurikulum, there are stages in developing lesson plan:

1. Analyzing syllabus

Generally, four each material on syllabus include of four Kompetensi Dasar

based on core competency aspects (attitude God, attitude to self, environment,

knowledge and skills). Achieving these basic competency, in syllabus it is explained

that student’s activity in learning process based on process standard. The student’s

activity consist of exploration, elaboration, and confirmation, there are observing,

questioning, experimenting,associating and communicating. These activities must be

developed in lesson plan and the teacher must make their students active. Analyzing

of syllabus also consist of formulating indicator and assesment.

2. Identifying Learning Material

Some aspects that have to considered in identifying learning material are:

a. Students’ potential,

b. Relevancy to local characteristic

c. Physical, Intellectual, emotional, social, and student’s spiritual

d. Usefulness for student

e. Knowledge structure

f. Actual, deep, wide learning material

g. Relevancy between students’ needs and environment

h. Time allocation
 17

3. Deciding learning aims

Learning aims refer to indicator, at least consisting of 2 aspects: audience

(students) and behavior (skill).

4. Developing learning activity

Some aspects that have to be considered in identifying learning material are:

a. Learning activities are arranged to make easy teacher so they teach

Professional

b. Learning activities consist of activities done by teacher as in syllabus

c. The steps of learning activities for each meeting are done by teacher to

make students active.

5. Formulating assessment

Some aspect that have to be considered in formulating assessment are:

a. Assessment purposed to measure competence achievement, KD-KD in

KI-3 and KI-4.

b. Criteria of assessment are based on what students achieve in learning

process.

c. Using sustainable assessment.

d. Result of assessments used to decide the next step.

e. Assessment has to be suitable with learning experience that done in

learning process.
 18

6. Deciding time allocation

In deciding time allocation for each KD, it is based on effective week and

time allocation for each subject.

7. Deciding learning source

Learning sources are object or thing used in learning activity e.g.: nature,

culture, social, physical environment.

H. The Use of Lesson Plan

According to Maha (2007), lesson plan is useful for some stakeholders for

educational development;

1. Program Organizers

Program organizers (headmaster, organizing committee) will be easy

to monitor and control the implementation of learning which has been

designed steadily. On the other hand, it also gives a feedback which is very

important for program development, such as supplying the facilities, human

resources, and time allocation.

2. Teacher, Instructor, Tutor

With the existence of the lesson arrangement orderly, the teaching-

learning process will take place orderly, learning product (the student

achievement) will increase significantly and the mistake will be detected

easily. On the other hand, it will be easy for the teacher to follow up because

this includes to the plan.

 19

There are four aspects to be followed up. By having lesson plan teacher will

be easy to follow up their teaching.

1. Revising the learning product, that is follow-up toward the mistake which

relates the learning material.

2. Revising learning process, that is follow-up toward the mistake which relates

the learning that is the existence of some components which have not settled.

3. Remedying program, that is follow-up toward the weaknesses that arise from

the students.

4. Developing program, that is follow-up which relates program refinement or

reshuffle overall.

I. The Previous Study

The researcher found two preceding studies about difficulties in designing

lesson plan based on 2013 Curriculum. It is conducted by Miftah Farid (Indonesia

University of Education) in 2014. It is a qualitative research entitled “Teachers

Difficulties in Lesson Planning Based On School-Based Curriculum”. Its objectives

to picture the teachers’ preparation before conducting a lesson in terms of designing

learning activities to conduct in classroom, particularly in setting indicators and

objectives, selecting materials and media, plotting the teaching procesures,

conducting students’ evaluation and to investigate the difficulties faced by the

teachers in planning lesson. He gathers data through non directive interviews and

document analysis using several categories in Reiser and Dick’s about Systematic

Planning. The result of this research is the teacher have got the difficulties in finding
 20

suitable materials for the students due to the lack of resource books for vocational

school. The similarity between this research, the researcher tried to find out the

difficulties of the teacher in designing lesson plan. The difference of this research is

the implementation of the curriculum.

The second preceding was conducted by Jasmi, in 2014 in 61st TEFLIN

International Conference, UNS Solo 2014. The finding of this research is the teacher

got some difficulties in arranged assesment because the teacher did not get any

training and seminar. The similarity between this research is the researcher tried to

find out the teacher’s difficulties in designing lesson plan based on 2013 curriculum.

The difference between of this research is the subject in senior high school in the one

of school in Cipatat, West Java.

 CHAPTER 3

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

In this chapter the researcher will explain the research design, research site

and participants, technique of data collection, and method of data analysis.

A. Research Design

In this study, the researcher analyse the teachers’ lesson plan and its

implementation in the classroom. Therefore, the researcher uses a descriptive

qualitative method. It is in line with Creswell’s (2012) theory that to answer a

research problem which the variables are not known and need to be explored, the

qualitative method is suitable. Lambert (2012) also added that descriptive qualitative

is a viable and acceptable label for a qualitative research design. It is usually used by

another researcher, especially novice to the methods of qualitative research. Then in

qualitative In qualitative research, the researcher uses document/content analysis is as

a part of qualitative types.

Content analysis has its roots in communication genres. Contents analysis is a

research method applied to written or visual materials for the purpose of identifying

specified characteristics of the material. The materials analyzed can be textbooks,

newspapers, web pages, speeches, television programs, advertisements, musical

compositions, or any of a host of other types of documents For this concentration the

researcher analyzed the English lesson plans developed by English teacher at SMP

Negeri 17 Banda Aceh. It also reviewed the difficulties faced by the teacher in

21
 22

developing it as well as the efforts made by the teacher to overcome the difficulties to

get good quality. This is so-called a kind of qualitative examination of content

analysis of the lesson plan.

B. Research Sites and Participants

This research was conducted at SMPN 17 Banda Aceh which located at

Sukaramai, Kec. Baiturrahman, Kota Banda Aceh, Aceh 23116. Creswell (2014)

defined that research participants are subjects who have potential to give information

that will lead the researcher to find the answer of research question. Thus, in this

research, the researcher uses purposive sampling to achieve the purpose of the

research. Purposive sampling helps a researcher to select individuals that can provide

the needed information to understand the case, to answer the research question, and to

address the purpose of the research (Johnson & Christensen, 2008). The researcher

chose the participants regarding the characteristics or required criteria. From all the

teachers who teach English at SMPN 17 Banda Aceh, the researcher only chose three

teachers who teach at the first, the second, and the third grade to be respondent on

this research. The teachers also may be full time teacher (PNS)

C. Technique of Data Collection

1. Document Analysis

To obtain the data in the field, the researcher employed document instruments.

The documents help the researcher to gain richer data related to the lesson plan and

the school. The document was the teacher’s lesson plan. The researcher takes the
 23

photo of lesson plan to review and utilize it as additional and relevant information. In

qualitative research, personal and official documents were considerably important

because they could provide access to understanding the subject matter being studied

(Bogdan & Biklen, 2007).

2. Observation

According to Hancock (2009), observation is a way when data needed cannot

be validated or collected with other means. The observation is used after the

document analysis was taken. It is means the researcher did the observation one or

two days after other instruments used. This observation carried out in the classes, to

see the implementation of lesson plan in teaching learning process. The data

collection was conducted based on the academic year 2019. The researcher filled out

the checklist of nine items of the lesson plan reviewed; namely, indicators, purposes,

teaching activity, materials, methods of teaching, resources, and assessment. Then,

these six items will checked and reviewed whether the teacher taught English

appropriate or not together with whatever deficiencies found after observing and

appraising the lesson plan based on these six items.

Thus, the content analysis checklist was used to collect data for the first

objective of the study. Documentary study is also conduct to support the data of

content analysis. The sources data for the document is the syllabus and lesson plans.

The researcher took photo of the syllabus and lesson plans to review it.
 24

D. Method of Data Analysis

After the researcher collected the data by document analysis and observation,

the researcher analysed the data as follow; first, the researcher analysed the lesson

plan developed by the teacher of English at SMP N 17 Banda Aceh. The researcher

examined the lesson plan by analyse it. It focused on five aspects in the lesson plan.

They are (1) indicators of competency achievement, (2) objectives, (3) materials, (4)

teaching activity, and (5) assessment.

The data presentation and research findings will discuss in chapter four in

which all the non-numerical data will report in form of words, descriptions, and

categorizations by the researcher. In presenting the data analysis, the researcher

presented a table of teacher observation check list. Then, the discussion will analyse

the lesson plans reviewed together with its deficiencies is explain in this section.
 CHAPTER 4

FINDING AND DISCUSSION

This chapter discusses the research finding and discussion based on the data

obtained from the observation and document analysis. It attempts to answer the

research questions of the study.

A. The Procedure

In conducting this research, the researcher used two instruments; there are

document analysis and observation. The participants were three English teachers at

SMPN 17 Banda Aceh as the object of this research. Before conducting the

observation, the researcher asked three lesson plans from the teachers related to the

topic that they wanted to teach at that time, then, they were analysed to find if the

components of lesson plan (indicator, objective, material, teaching activity, and

assessment) were well match with the basic competence. Next, the teaching processes

were observed by using observation checklist in order to investigate the compatibility

of the lesson plan with its implementation in the classroom. While observing teaching

learning process the researcher also recorded it to help her in analyzing data. Each

observation took 90 minutes .The participants of this research were;

1. Teacher 1 (female) : AA

2. Teacher 2 (female) : AB

3. Teacher 3 (female) : AC

B. Result

The result of document analysis and the data observation was interpreted

descriptively by the researcher. Each teacher along with her teaching will be

presented.

1. Analysis lesson plan of first teacher

When the researcher observed in the class, the teacher taught material about

simple present. The researcher only observed one meeting in the class. During

observation the students were very cooperative in teaching and learning process. To

help the reader understand the observation result, the researcher presents the

document analysis and observation checklist below;

Indicator of competence achievement is performance which can be measured

and observed to show the achievement of certain basic competence. It can be

 28

measured and observed through assessment execution covering cognitive,

psychomotor, and affective. Based on lesson plan above, the indicators was not relate

to KD. Then the teacher did not make the assessment to conclude whether students

understand or not about the material that had been taught.

In this notion, the teacher was not used the media as she had been stated in

lesson plan. The teacher should use variety media as the instruction in the curriculum
 29

2013. The media that could use by the teacher are textbook, projector, internet, etc.

The using media in teaching and learning process could attract students’ interest to

learning English subject.

Based on the observation above, the teacher was not implementing lesson plan

as well as she stated in lesson plan. There were many components that teacher missed

in the lesson plan so it was not made the teaching and learning achieved the goal

based on the curriculum 2013. The teacher was only focused in teaching activity.

2. Analysis lesson plan of second teacher

The second teacher taught about noun. The teaching and learning process took

90 minutes and run well during the observation. The researcher only observed one

meeting in the class. Checklist and lesson plan were prepared to help researcher

gaining the data. To help the reader understand the observation result, the researchers

present the observation checklist and document analysis below;

Indicator of competence achievement is performance which can be measured

and observed to show the achievement of certain basic competence. It can be

 31

measured and observed through assessment execution covering cognitive,

psychomotor, and affective. Based on lesson plan above, there was no indicators that

teacher stated in her lesson plan. We could not know what the student had been got

from the learning, although the indicators were in syllabus. Then the teacher was not

made the assessment to conclude whether students understand or not about the

material that had been taught. The assessment was required to execute using rubrics

in order to evaluate students’ achievement towards indicators determined. Based on

the lesson plan above, it was not specifically stated because there were no indicators

to be assessed. Compliance was the key answer to the question not appropriate

because it does not exist.

There were many components that second teacher was not appropriate based

on the lesson plan which she had been written. The teaching and learning process was

only focused in teaching activity where teacher became the main key. The teacher

was also forgot to teach the main activity and only focused in introduction the

material so there was no main and closing activity during the process. Because of

there was no main activity so the teacher was not used the media as attractive tool to
 33

make students easier in understanding the topic. Based on the result of observation

above it can be conclude that the teacher was not understand the rule of lesson plan in

teaching and learning process. The lack of teacher’s knowledge could be effected to

the students’ understanding.

3. Analysis lesson plan of third teacher

The third teacher taught about simple past. The teaching and learning process

took 90 minutes and run well during the observation. Yet the students were not really

active in the class. The researcher only observed one meeting in the class. Checklist

and lesson plan were prepared to help researcher gaining the data. To help the reader

understand the observation result, the researcher presents the observation checklist

and document analysis below;

The third teacher only applied the material and learning steps which were

appropriate to the lesson plan that her had been written. She only focused in teaching
 35

and learning activity, while there were many components that inappropriate to the

lesson plan such as; indicators, purposes, and assessments. Those components were

very important in lesson plan. Indicator of competence achievement is performance

which can be measured and observed to show the achievement of certain basic

competence. It can be measured and observed through assessment execution covering

cognitive, psychomotor, and affective. Then the purpose of the material was

important to deliver because the student should know the importance of learning

material so the students could learn language by the context.

7 The appropriate assessment ✔

The result of the third teacher observation indicated that the teacher focused in

teaching activity. The material had been taught was appropriate to the lesson plan and

the teacher also applied the learning steps such as introduction and main activity yet

she did not applied assessment during teaching and learning process while in the

lesson plan she already written it. Furthermore, the teacher used the appropriate
 37

method but was not used the media. The teaching and learning process was not

interesting because the process was only focused on the teacher.

C. Discussion

In accordance with the finding above after the researcher conducted

observation, it could be concluded that there were many components that teacher

have missed in designing lesson plan. The teachers also taught inappropriate way

with the lesson plan which they have been designed. It can be drawn that there were

many factors influenced to the miss components that teachers made.

1. Indicator

Based on the data findings from the analysis of indicators of competency

achievement aspect conducted by the researcher through observation, it can be

elaborated that the teacher had problems with the indicators of competency

achievement determination. All of them were not state indicator that based on the

characteristic of curriculum 2013 (HOTS) in their lesson plan. However the indicator

is main key of lesson plan. Thus the teacher should learn more about the components

of lesson plan especially in indictor’s component.

2. Media

The used media in teaching and learning was still the obstacle faced by the

teacher. Two teachers were not applied media in their class. Their only teach in

traditional way. Yet there was one teacher used media in her class. The media that she

used was the textbook which available in the school’s library. Thus even curriculum
 38

2013 asked the teacher to teach in interesting way but the teacher skill was still low

so the goal could not achieve.

3. Assessment

At the end of teaching and learning process, the assessment helped the teacher

to know whether the student understood or not to the relative material. Assessment

could be applied using the rubric. Based on the data findings from the analysis of

assessment aspect conducted by the researcher, it can be deduced that the teacher still

has several problems with assessment; namely, developing tools of assessment,

instruments of assessment and scorings of assessment or keys answer determination,

especially the tools of assessment were stated but the instruments and keys answer

were not figured out specifically. Also, some of tools of assessment developed by the

teacher were not appropriate with the objective and did not cover all indicators

established.

Thus, lesson plan was not effectively used by the teacher at this school. It can

be seen from the result of the observation. The teachers were still taught English

subject in traditional way where the teacher was the center point in teaching and

learning process. Information was only provided by the teachers while it was

contradictory to the syllabus and curriculum 2013 instruction.

 CHAPTER 5

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

This chapter consists of conclusion and suggestion of the study. In this

section, the analysis of the data and the discussion of the result would be reiterated

and summarized accordingly. Some suggestions are presented regarding the proposed

study and recommended future works related to the study that could be conducted by

other researchers.

A. Conclusion

Based on the result of chapter 4 some conclusions can be inferred into:

1. The teachers lack of the informations in creating a good lesson plan.

Especially in creating indicators, using media, and creating assessment.

Therefore, the teachers have not been maximal in adjusting the lesson plan

with its implementation. This is the reason why most of students fail in UN.

2. The lesson plans are not relevant with the implementation in the classroom

because the teachers does not focus on the lesson plans. The teachers use

traditional method in which they become a center. For them, lesson plans is

only the requirement of administration.

In short, the teachers will create good lesson plan if they put the lesson plan

components based on the Decree of the Minister of Education No. 103 (2014):

identification of subjects, core competence, basic competence, competence of

indicator achievement, learning materials, steps in learning activities, assessments,

39
 40

remedial work, enrichment activities, teaching-learning media, instruments and

learning resources.

B. Suggestion

Based on the conclusion above, the researcher would like to give some

suggestions for the teacher’s, students and future researchers:

1. Teachers

For the teachers, they can find much information’s related to lesson plan on

the internet or in Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia

website to increase their knowledge in creating good lesson plan. Then they can use

learning media from newspaper, storybook, magazine, and surrounding environment.

Last, the teachers should involve the students to find the learning media by

themselves, not only from the teacher but also from other sources.

2. Students

The students should more active in the class. Bring the dictionary for English

language classes. Students can find materials by themselves trough internet or other

medias.

3. Future Researchers

The future researchers can use another method in collecting data such as the

questionnaire for the students about the teaching learning process and interview for

the teachers to know do they create the lesson plan by themselves and other

information related to the research.
