B. Theoretical Framework

This study is mainly about document analysis on microteaching students’ lesson plans. Therefore, it is necessary to review some literature theories concerning on lesson planning in language learning which includes the definition, the importance and the elements of lesson plan. Besides, the study is conducted to see the coherence of the learning activities and the learning objectives. Therefore, it is also important to get deeper understanding on learning objectives, learning activities and the relation of both. It is also important to present some theory concerning on writing skills to help the researcher check the effectiveness of the activities designed. A lesson plan is important for the teacher for many reasons as being stated by many experts. There are many parts of a lesson plan which are related to each other and are important. In this study, the researcher is going to focus on the coherence of learning objectives and learning activities designed by microteaching students on their lesson plans. Therefore, the theory presents about the learning objectives and learning activities becomes the main foundation for the researcher to answer the research questions. 23 To answer the first research question, the researcher uses the theory dealing with the formulation of learning objectives, such as Bloom taxonomy 1964 and theory of clearly stated learning objectives by Pasch et al. 1991. Another theory used is the six principles of designing learning activities proposed by Pasch et al. 1991. All of those theories help the researcher to determine the coherence of learning objectives and learning activities designed by microteaching students. To answer the second research question, the researcher needs to study the lesson plan more deeply. The second research question deals with problems that occurred in the design of coherent learning objectives and learning activities. The researcher would use the same theories, namely the theory of Bloom taxonomy 1964, theory of clearly stated learning objectives by Pasch et al. 1991 and theory of six principles in designing learning activities proposed by Pasch et al. 1991. Those theories would be used as the foundation to make the checklist. It would be used to see the details of lesson plans and to find the problems which might occur. 24
