1. Introduction
It goes without saying that good lesson plan is the important element in teaching and
learning process. It is a detail plan or guidance which is aimed to help teacher conduct a
classroom interaction in a guided way. Brown (2001:149) stated that the term of lesson
plan is popularly considered to be a unified set of activities that cover a period of
classroom time. Plan is an arrangement for doing the lesson. Lesson plan usually contains
some components, such as goals, objective, indicators, materials and equipments,
procedure, learning source, evaluation and extra class work.
Actually, the systematic lesson plan will guide to provide the effective teaching
process. That is why, the teachers have to be able to develop good and systematic lesson
plan components. Unfortunately, many teacher still do not have enough capability to
design good lesson plan. Mahir (2011) described how the teachers in vocational school
developed each unit of lesson plans. The result is the teachers lesson plan can be
considered as incorrectly developed.most of the teachers made mistakes in constructing
sub-basic competence, the indicators, the classromm activities, materials or learning
resources, and the assessment. Anindita Badianti (2013), also reached similar conclusion
in her study of The analysis of junior high school English teachers lesson plan. She
found that most of the English teachers in Junior High School were not able to make
appropriate lesson plan. Some indicators, instructional objectives, learning materials,
learning method, learning sources and assessment in the lesson plan were poorly
formulated by the teachers. In addition, Visencia (2011) reported that English teachers
lesson plan in elementary school level at the sith grade is incorrectly organized. She found
that the teachers lesson plan did not attach entitlement competence or skill. Indicator and
instructional objective are not formulated correctly.
All these previous studies show that the teachers get difficulties and make many
mistakes in creating their lesson plans, that is why it is important to do a research in order
to identify common obstacles faced by them in creating good lesson plan.
