There is no right or wrong way in curriculum development from a constructivist approach because knowledge is individually constructed by the learner herself on the foundation of what she already knows, so therefore it is impossible to come up with uniform learning outcomes for all students.

4. Devise five to seven criteria for judging the articles. (for example, ease of reading, application to curriculum development, author proved main points, and so on.) Evaluate each article objectively using the five to seven criteria. Based on the evaluation, name the article(s) you would recommend to a colleague or another student for professional development. Also, based on the evaluation, name the article(s) you would suggest be deleted from this paper. Provide a rational for each of the selections.

The criteria utilized is: (1) content; (2) structure; (3) ease of reading; (4) author's knowledge and ability to make points; (5) application to curriculum development. The article by Hills (2004) felt old in its content and style, the structure was fine, but not engaging. I found the ease of reading to be satisfactory and the author did seem knowledgeable on the topic, however, I felt that it would be hard to apply the article when developing curriculum.

Conversely, Yi's (2005) content was engaging and it comes from a constructivist view, which is more my point-of-view and I could relate because of that. I felt like the structure was good as well as the ease of reading.

Based on the aforementioned criteria, the article being recommended is Yi's (2005) article on the effective ways in which to foster learning. The article that would be eliminated from the paper is the article written by Hills (2004) on better teaching. The reason that Yi was chosen is because the article had a lot of good and unbiased content. It was informative from all angles and was easy to understand and use in curriculum development. Hills' article was eliminated because the content felt old and the structure was also a bit awkward, which didn't inspire one to continue reading or use for adaptation......
