Introduction

Lesson planning is the first and foremost step in teaching. A good planning for lesson results in good teaching and better student performance. The lesson planning has its roots in the history of teaching. There are so many models available in the literature of education. The foremost model was given by the German psychologist and philosopher Herbert, who is being followed in our teacher training institutions for training and educational institutions for classroom teaching and instruction. In our system these practices are not properly followed in the public sector educational institutions, due to which the teaching is not so effective and the outcomes are not up to the desired level. However, these practices are being followed by our privately managed educational institutions. But the uses of lesson planning practices are very traditional and the outcomes are not measured and evaluated in the context of the objectives. So, the evaluation of these practices is very important for improvement in the existing scenario.
