Abstract

Impression of Concretive Lesson Planning on Students’ Learning Issues in Health Education in Brass Local Government area of Bayelsa state, was examined by the researcher. The study employed a descriptive survey design. The population comprised 76 Home Economics teachers, which were also used as sample size for the study due to its manageability size, the entire population was used as the sample through the total enumeration technique. A 21-item structured questionnaire served as the instrument for data collection. Its validity was ascertained using face and content validity methods, while the reliability yielded a coefficient of 0.83 using the Cronbach’s Alpha Method. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and independent t-test. Findings revealed that concretive lesson planning improved the use of instructional materials, enhanced clarity in lesson delivery, and promoted better assessment strategies. Independent t-test results showed significant differences in these three instructional variables between teachers who engaged in concretive’ planning and those who did not. It was recommended that school administrators should encourage regular concretive’ planning sessions among Home Economics teachers; government should provide professional development workshops focused on team-based lesson design; curriculum planners should integrate concretive’ practices in teachers training programmes.
