Abstract
The purpose of carrying out the present research work is to find out the Student- Teachers’ beliefs towards the use of the lesson plans. Keeping this objective in
mind I have selected 10 student -teachers of M.Ed. final year from the Department
of English Education, TU, Kirtipur who were sent for the practice teaching of
2011/12 for the study. I have used the tool interview in order to gather the required
data from the respondents. The collected data were transcribed, coded,
thematically grouped and analyzed or interpretated systematically. It was found
that the STs Beliefs towards the use of lesson plans are positive. They believe that
the lesson plan is an effective and useful for teaching rather than just as formality,
boredom and time consuming task for the effective and interactive teaching and
learning. Similarly, they also believe that the lesson plan helps to teach the lessons
systematically and provide the teachers confidence on the subject- matter.
Likewise, they think that the lesson plan is like a compass for the STs to move
ahead for achieving the determined goal. That’s why it is necessary for all the
teachers including the student-teachers as well.
This thesis consists of four chapters: Chapter one deals with the introduction to the
research which included introduction, general background, review of the related
literature, objectives, and significance of the study. Chapter two deals with the
methodology adopted for the study in terms of sources of data, population of the
study, sampling procedure, tools and process of data collection and limitations of
the study. Chapter three contains the analysis and interpretation of the data
collected from informants. Finally, the chapter four summarizes the findings of the
study and suggests for recommendations.
