        abstract = {This study focuses on the development and validation of a lesson plan evaluation rubric specifically designed for EDU-SAT (Educational Satellite) teaching. EDU-SAT provides satellite-based education to remote and underserved areas, where lesson quality plays a crucial role in student engagement and learning outcomes. To ensure effective lesson delivery, there is a need for a standardized tool to evaluate lesson plan quality tailored to the unique requirements of EDU-SAT teaching. This research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative data from expert consultations and quantitative data from rubric testing to develop and validate the EDU-SAT Lesson Plan Evaluation Rubric (ELPER).
The study involved the iterative development of the rubric, followed by validation through expert reviews and field testing with 50 lesson plans from EDU-SAT teachers. Statistical analysis, including reliability testing and factor analysis, confirmed the rubric’s validity and reliability. The ELPER proved effective in identifying key components of high-quality lesson plans, including clarity of objectives, interactivity, adaptability, and content structure.
The findings support the use of ELPER as a practical tool for improving lesson planning practices in EDU-SAT teaching. The validated rubric provides educators with clear criteria for designing effective lesson plans that enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. Recommendations are provided for the integration of ELPER into training programs and continuous professional development for EDU-SAT educators.},
