Question 2
a)
Teachers do not specify clear instructional objectives for students. This makes it difficult for
students to achieve their goals. Teachers will find it difficult to focus on what needs to be
emphasized in the learning and teaching process. For example, a weak lesson plan objective is
something like students will learn about an essay. It is possible that the objectives stated in the
lesson plan are too general and will make it difficult to focus on important things.
Next, teaching materials are not listed which causes teachers not to provide real experience
to students during the learning and teaching process. Teachers may also get out of activities
that should be planned and cause teachers to only interact with students without the help of
teaching tools that help maximize the learning experience. For example, in the subject of
science, the teacher is only guided by the textbook and interacts with the students without
taking them to the science lab for experiments.
After that, assessment materials for students are not in line with the student's ability level.
Teachers only focus on how to achieve learning objectives without observing and evaluating the
abilities of each student. For example, teachers provide formative assessments where all
students in the classroom have to answer open-ended essay questions regardless of student
ability.

b) Assessment materials for students are not in line with the student's ability level.
First, teachers use a variety of assessment methods for students. Each student has a
different level of ability and teachers play an important role to use Bloom's Taxonomy theory
approach to test the level of student ability. Objective assessments such as short-answer
questions, multiple questions, true-false and essay questions such as extended and intended
can be used to test the level of student ability. Teachers will be able to observe and assess
every need that students need in the classroom. In addition, teachers can plan effective
teaching plans in the future.
Next, teachers practice differentiated instruction during the teaching and learning process.
This can help meet the needs of each student. In planning lesson plans, teachers can adjust
content, information, techniques and processes during the teaching and learning process. For
example, giving students the option to complete assignment projects based on their interests by
ensuring that learning objectives are achieved. Therefore students have the opportunity to
achieve the goals required in the curriculum.
In addition, instructional objectives must be specified specifically and clearly so that teachers
can focus on the assessment that should be given. For instance, rather than saying that
students will understand the concept of verbs, it is better that students will be able to express
verbs. Teaching and learning objectives also need to be put in verbs that are aligned with
learning outcomes. For example, if the learning outcome is for students to be able to write a
summary essay, then the teaching objective should be students able to write a good and
concise summary essay in a correct way.
