In the Program Pendidikan Profesi Guru Dalam Jabatan (In-service PPG Program), as in other teacher training programs, lesson plans are a prerequisite for peer teaching. In this program, seven out of 17 sessions are allotted for lesson plan writing, finalization, presentation, discussion, and revision. This arrangement is meant to enable the PPG students to develop lesson plans, discuss them with their facilitators and fellow students, get feedbacks, and improve them. At the end of this process, the students are expected to produce acceptable and feasible lesson plans. Do the students fulfil this expectation? To answer this question, all the components of their lesson plans are analyzed. The analysis focuses on the lesson plans the students prepared for high school level. Keywords: lesson plan, in-service, PPG, ELT

In a preliminary empirical study of social-science and humanities students enrolled in teacher-training programs at two German universities, the authors have found a disparaging view of technology and science among said students. Their material knowledge of technology and science is the result of content they learned in high-school themselves. After having graduated, they chose social-sciences or humanities as their subjects. There is little or no overlap between science and engineering subjects and social-science and humanities subjects in teacher training programs. Apart from the students choices, this is also the consequence of an institutionally established and strict segregation of the academic fields that does not, unlike in other university systems, require the students to enroll in at least basic interdisciplinary courses. The result for science and technology awareness among the students is problematic, to say the least. While their knowledge of science and technology -being the product of high-school education - is often not up to date and also lacking in current developments, their moral and ethical judgement about the implications of scientific research and use of technology is strong. The preliminary study also showed that the students are interested in new technological and scientific developments, they just lack the ability to include this into their worldview, which is very strongly influenced by their choice of subjects in the humanities and social-sciences. Teaching these students has convinced the authors that their lack of technology and science knowledge combined with their inherent tendency to judge science and technology from the point of view of their respective field, impairs their ability to take an adequate part in science and technology discourse. Their awareness, and thus, their competence to rationally engage with science and technology is lacking. That is in part due to the depiction of science and technology in humanities and social-science courses, and on the other hand due to a lack of current science and technology education as part of a humanities and social-sciences program. The result becomes even more alarming if we assume that the future teachers will continue to relay their heavily biased opinions on science and technology in general, as well as their deficient knowledge of specific technologies to their future students, thus generating a vicious cycle of inadequate technology and science awareness. As the authors’ study has shown, these students are really interested in science and technology, they just lack key competencies to make an analytical connec- tion between their field of choice (humanities and social sciences) and technology and science, without resorting to moral and ethical judgement.

The CDIO (Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate) approach was originally developed for engineering education programs. However, this approach has also been adopted to support non-engineering programs. This paper aims to discuss the implementation of the CDIO approach in teacher training programs in a university in Vietnam. Five tests focusing on assessing students’ competence of lesson plan preparation, lesson planning, teaching organization, student learning assessment, and teaching portfolio management were developed and administered to the experimental group of 40 last-year students and the control group of 40 last-year students. When the data were collected and analyzed with the assistance of the SPSS statistics, the p-value was .000 (p=.000 p < .05), which means that the experimental group and control group had statistically meaningful difference. The results of this study show that students enrolling in programs that implemented the CDIO approach performed better than those who enrolled in programs without the support of the CDIO approach.   Received: 6 July 2021 / Accepted: 2 August 2021 / Published: 5 September 2021

<p>This paper aimed to reexamine the current EFL communicative speaking skill in high school level in Thailand due to the coming of the entry to ASEAN at the end of the year 2015. Thai students need to be wellprepared for workforce in the future since English is used as the working language in ASEAN. The purposes of this paper were to study the effect of dramatic activities on improving English communicative skills of grade 11<sup>th</sup> participants and to examine students’ opinions towards the use of dramatic activities in their speaking class. The duration of experiment was 21 hours within 7 weeks. The research instruments were lesson plans using dramatic activities, English communicative speaking test and a questionnaire measuring students’ opinions towards the teaching based on dramatic activities. The findings were that the English communicative speaking skill on grade 11<sup>th</sup> students after attending the teaching class using dramatic activities was significantly higher than before attending the teaching and the students’ opinions towards dramatic activities on speaking were highly positive.</p>

The ultimate goal of this paper is to investigate the pedagogical views and attitudes of Moroccan high school teachers towards Method-based pedagogy. It attempts to investigate the extent to which teachers are satisfied with and committed to conventional methods. Also, the paper aims at investigating the alternative practices teachers are more likely to resort to in order to compensate for the limitations of conventional methods. In addition to this, a further objective of this study is to investigate the extent to which pre-service teacher training programs in Morocco are aware of the challenges of the post-method era. This is measured through their awareness of the requirements of the post-method era and the extent to which teacher trainers concern themselves with equipping the prospective teachers with the necessary skills to be reflective researchers and responsibly eclectic teachers. In this respect, the data collection instruments opted for in the present study ranged from quantitative to qualitative in nature. The findings reveal that the vast majority of Moroccan high school teachers (P=78%) are dissatisfied with conventional methods and - (P=96%) of them- are not committed to one or two teaching methods. The vast majority report that they resort to an eclectic approach to language teaching due to the impracticality and inflexibility of the established methods. Most teachers (P=80%) admit that they use a random eclecticism as they rely mainly on their intuitive rather than principled judgments. In this regard, interviews with teacher trainers and supervisors also reveal that pre-service teacher training programs in Morocco limit themselves only to training the prospective teachers to use methods and approaches without training them to be responsibly eclectic. The findings also show that the majority of teachers do, to some extent, know about classroom research; however, they - (P=72%) of them- have never conducted it inside their classrooms. The teachers (P=57%) attribute this to the lack of financial support and to the fact that they are not well-trained to conduct research inside their classrooms. Finally, the results of this study imply many suggestions of which we mention: the introduction of a post-method pedagogy in the Moroccan pre-service teacher training programs, equipping teachers with the methodological tools necessary as well as supporting them financially to conduct classroom-research for the purpose of constructing teaching methodologies that suit the needs to the very specific students and contexts within which they work.

The implementation of Hindu education in 1994 was still dominated by cognitive achievement rather than affective and psychomotor ability in learning objectives. In 2003 The National Education Department through National Education Standard Institution comprised national competency-based curriculum for Hindu subject. Competency-based Curriculum in Senior High School level needs further improvement through educational unit level curriculum because it will improve human sources quality especially teacher in developing syllabi and lesson plan. Based on the above fact, the writer formulates three problems as follows: (1) what are the steps of developing syllabus and lesson plan in Senior High School; (2) what are the factors that may affect the process of developing Hindu subject syllabus and lesson plan in Senior High School; (3) What efforts are needed in developing Hindu subject syllabus and lesson plan in Senior High School. The steps of developing Hindu subject syllabus and lesson plan can be independently or collaboratively in deliberation of subject teacher.  The factors that encourage the development of the syllabus and lesson plan, that is, interest to the duties, responsibilities of the task, learning facilities, the attention of the head master, community demand and teachers’ administrative demand. These efforts which were done in developing syllabus and lesson plan was discussion, following seminar, workshop, and upgrading program as well as providing facilities and infrastructures. The Hindu Subject syllabus and lesson plan are expected to be applied in Senior High School.

Primarily due to their convenience, online search engines such as Google and Bing are becoming a central location for obtaining information. As a result, societies give search engines tremendous control over the spread of information to the public. Through a high-school-level sample lesson plan, the article was written to promote dialogue with teachers on the importance of teaching the intricacies of search engines. The sample lesson plan begins with fundamental knowledge on the functionality of search engines with emphasis on algorithms. With this instruction, students can understand not only search engines, but also their manipulation potential, which leads to ramifications. Using the manipulation potential as a catalyst, many societal concerns are raised, such as spread of misinformation, oppression of certain groups, and impact on behavior. Through this instruction and dialogue, practitioners will have a resource to integrate search engines into their curriculum in response to this new concern.
