Abstract

This study developed and validated a Lesson Plan Evaluation Checklist intended for elementary school principals in the Agusan del Norte Division to strengthen instructional supervision and ensure alignment with curriculum standards and educational policies. Employing a developmental research design anchored in the ADDIE Model, the study formulated a checklist grounded in Republic Act No. 10533 and DepEd Order No. 42, s. 2016, DepEd Order No. 21, s. 2019, and DepEd Order No. 10, s. 2024, or the MATATAG Curriculum. The developed instrument consisted of ten domains, namely objectives, content, learning resources, instructional approaches, alignment, assessment and feedback, contextualization and localization, values formation and integration, usability and practicality, and reflection. Expert validation and pilot testing were conducted to assess the instrument’s validity and applicability, while focus group discussions were conducted to gather stakeholder insights on usability and implementation. Findings revealed that the checklist demonstrated high validity with respect to relevance, clarity, and representativeness. Pilot testing showed that teachers’ lesson plans generally contained the required components, although there was moderate evidence in objectives, content, assessment and feedback, and procedural aspects, indicating areas for improvement. Participants perceived the checklist as useful, structured, and practical for instructional supervision. However, revisions were recommended to enhance clarity, simplify it, and increase flexibility to address implementation concerns and improve usability.
