However, instructional planning and the linkage to learning achievement remain deficient in literature. This study assessed factors influencing teachers' decision to plan lessons, and effect of lesson planning on learning achievement. Primary data were obtained from 341 teachers of business studies. Bivariate analysis obtained cross-tabulations with Chisquare (χ2) and One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA); while multivariate analysis obtained β coefficients and odds ratios. The study found that average workload accounted for the highest variance in the availability of lesson plans at 8.5%, suggesting that reducing workload is likely to increase the proportion of those planning their teaching by up to 8.5%, followed by professional experience (7.6%), lesson plan inspection frequency (6.9%), professional training (5.9%), administrative duties (5.8%), and teacher motivation (4.7%). The adjusted regression model explained 46.5% of variance in availability of lesson plans. The study recommends: higher budgetary allocation for Teachers' Service Commission to hire more teachers; school boards to generate supplementary resources and hire trained teachers; regular spot checks on lesson plans; and appropriate motivation for teachers.展开更多

Therefore, a clear definition on the ages of the children in the service must be made. The children in different ages can find their own educational project groups in a short time according to their own categories and ages. To facilitate the branding of routine childhood education programs, improve the implementing benefit of childhood education programs and realize the maximization of resource utilization in the Museum Children Education, this study firstly generalizes and extracts one of the common problems that affect the implementing benefit of Chinese Museum Children Education project based on the case analysis - focus and age-group of service objects. Then this paper (article) explores it step by step. Finally the article combines the analyses with the empirical researches on feedback information acquired in on-site observations and semi-structured interviews, to propose improvement suggestions for the problem.展开更多

Corresponding enlightenment has been gotten based on it. In addition, this article holds the opinion that we can focus on the reference and practice of Japan, and implement the regular flow of teachers. The main reason is that China has possessed the key condition of carrying out this system.展开更多
