Analysis of Questionnaires

1. What are the factors affecting your performance in writing detailed lesson plan?

Codes:

 Content

Theme: Subject Matter

One of the essential elements of the lesson plan is the content or the topic to be

delivered to the learners. Content consists of the lessons to be discussed aligned to the

subject matter. Social Studies students focus on teaching Araling Panlipunan contents.

Codes:

 Activities

 Teaching experience

 Teaching methods/styles

 Learning styles

Theme: Integrating HOTS activities to the

content

Higher order thinking skills (HOTS) are necessary to a lesson plan as it increases

the learning of the students and level up their skills to synthesis and evaluation. The data
gathered showed that second year Social Studies students find it difficult to integrate

HOTS activities to particular lesson given that Araling Panlipunan is a complex subject.

Codes:

 Materials

 Technology intervention

Theme: Resources

The data gathered showed that resources are important to the teachers as they

enhance classroom participation and make discussion interesting for learners.

Furthermore, the result emphasized the importance of technology intervention in daily

classroom discussions.

Codes:

 Objectives

 Alignment of the curriculum

Themes: Formulating Objectives

A total of 16 out of 20 participants find formulating objectives as a factor

affecting their performance in writing a detailed lesson plan. The objectives of the lesson

determine the learning outcome.

Codes:

 Assessment strategies

 Assessing learning

Theme: Evaluation
 Another factor that affects the performance of writing a detailed lesson plan is

assessing the learners. In order to assess whether or not the learners have learned,

teachers need to formulate assessments.

Codes:

 Classroom management

 Time allotment

 Time management

Theme: Realistic Timeline

Creating a realistic timeline affects the performance of second year Social Studies

students in writing a detailed lesson plan as time should be divided appropriately to

different activities. A teacher should the activities, discussion, and assessment in 45

minutes and the remaining time is allotted for clarifications and questions from the

learners.

2. What is the impact of these factors in your performance in writing detailed lesson

plan?

A total of 15 out 20 participants find these factors had greatly influenced their poor

performance in writing a detailed lesson plan. A total of 5 out of 20 students find it less

likely to affect their poor performance in writing a detailed lesson plan.

3. How can integrating higher order thinking skills affect your performance in

making detailed lesson plan?

A total of 20 out of 20 participants find integrating higher order thinking skills an

effective technique to encourage active participation in the class, establish interactive

complexity of the content.

4. How does student-centered approach affect your performance in writing the

objectives of your detailed lesson plan?

A total of 18 out of 20 participants find student-centered approach as an opportunity

to formulate objectives that are authentic, encourage active participation, and focus on

individual and group development.

5. How does the perception of the students about the subject matter affect your

6. How do learners need and interests relate your teaching approaches and

strategies?

A total of 20 out od 20 participants responded that teaching approaches and strategies

should cater the need and interests of diverse learners.

7. How can teaching and learning styles relate to one another in terms of writing

detailed lesson plan?

A total of 17 out of 20 participants responded that learning styles influence the

teaching styles that teachers use in delivering the lessons. One of the participants

responded, “Observing how students respond to different teaching methods provide

valuable feedback for refining the lesson plan”.

plan?

A total of 14 out of 20 participants responded that the objectives of the lesson,

students’ need and interests, and resources available are considered when choosing

teaching approaches. On the other hand, 6 out of 20 participants answered that

choosing teaching approaches is based on the content.

10. What are your solutions when you have a short time to prepare your detailed

lesson plan?

A total of 17 out of 20 participants responded that the solutions when there is a short

time to prepare a detailed lesson plan are pre-made lesson plan, focusing on the key

that focusing on the teaching styles and learnings styles is the solution to quickly

prepare a lesson plan.

Findings of Overall Results

The following observations were drawn from the results of the questionnaires:

 The results revealed that a relatively huge number of participants find integrating

HOTS activities, understanding the subject matter, availability of resources,

formulating objectives, creating assessments, and creating realistic timeline as

factors that affect the second year Social Studies students poor performance in

writing a detailed lesson plan.

 The results further revealed that integrating HOTS activities and focusing on

student-centered approach enhance active class participation, establish interactive

class discussion, and make the learners understand the depth and complexity of

the content.

 The results showed that formulating objectives affect the construction of the

lesson plan.
