Abstract

A lesson plan is an important methodological component of the learning process. The key purpose of the article is to analyse the current situation and suggest how the information technologies can assist in the development of lesson plans, their accumulation and retrieval, thus ensuring their effective application. The authors disclose the problems of lesson plan creation and their description as well as make comparative analysis of information and lesson plan templates provided at learning objects storages. The authors identified the main components of lesson plans and their description, based on application of learning objects metadata standard model and the principles for improving the model elements as well as on the results of the analysis made, and proposed the templates for creating the technology-based lesson plans and their description. The development of lesson plans and descriptions will allow educators reuse didactic resources (lesson plans) as an effective learning tool. The storage of didactic resources will allow teachers to use the best practices, and the same learning objects in different learning scenarios.

Highlights

  • A lesson plan is an auxiliary teacher‘s work for preparing, organizing and conducting a lesson

  • These principles are proposed by two metadata initiatives: the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) and the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Learning Object Metadata (LOM) Working Group

  • Based on the analysis of foreign science resources, metadata models and templates of lesson plans, this paper provides an extended learning resources (LO) metadata application profile, which presents theoretical principles of LO metadata standard application profile creation (Modularity, Extensibility and Refinement principles), and practical principles

Summary

Introduction

A lesson plan is an auxiliary teacher‘s work for preparing, organizing and conducting a lesson. Automated lesson planning systems are created (Kouno et al, 2002; Cheon et al, 2002) These are mostly separate systems that do not follow to the metadata standards and are not meant for sharing the good teachers’ experience. The object of this research work is to form a model for lesson plan development and description on the basis of the analysis of scientific publications and storage data of learning resources, in order that pedagogues could reuse didactic resources (lesson plans) as an effective teaching and learning tool. Storage of didactic resources will allow sharing the good experience of different teachers, especially, using the same or similar learning object in different learning scenarios
