Factors that Affect Effective Planning Skills of the Teacher in the Classrooms

Abstract

The main aim of this article is to examine the factors that affect planning skills of the teacher in the classrooms. These factors are: organizing the classroom and the teaching materials; effective implementation of lesson plans; and time management. This phenomenon is handled starting from the students’ perceptions of the high schools in Tirana, Durrës and Elbasan. The approach of this study was quantitative and sample extraction is carried out through the stages sampling technique. For the data collection a Likert scale was used, with a Cronbach alpha coefficient reported, .77, .75, .62, and .65. Through the use of advanced statistical analysis there was identified a model which predicts that intervention in some variables such as, the organizing of the classroom and the teaching materials, effective implementation of lesson plans and time management improves the effective planning skills of the teacher. Results showed that there exists a positive relationship between teacher’s effective planning skills and other variables, which are organizing the classrooms and the teaching material, effective implementation of lesson plans and time managements. F (3,834) = 573.630, p = .000, adjusted R2 = .672.
