The writer failed to introduce the instructional setting. Note: The instructional setting was provided from the previous assignment 

Appropriateness of Social reconstruction

At one point, the writer talks about showing historical or political injustices movies and conducting questionnaires, which do not correlate with the instructional setting.

Appropriateness of Social Efficiency

The writer explained the primary components of the social efficiency ideology, what it means and the curricular content. However, the writer failed to outline the role of the student and the teacher in the instructional settings where the ideology is applicable. Similarly, the writer did not explain how student learning is evaluated in these settings. Lastly, the writer failed to evaluate the appropriateness of the theory for a specific setting.

Appropriateness of Scholar Academic Ideology

The writer explained what the scholar academic ideology means, but failed to cover the role of the learner and the teacher or how the student learning will be evaluated within this setting. The writer did not evaluate the appropriateness of the ideology to the instructional setting.

Appropriateness of Learner Centered Ideology

The explanation identifies the components of the learner-centered ideology, outlines the role of the teacher, but fails to mention the role of the student or learning evaluation procedures. The writer does not relate the appropriateness of the ideology with the instructional setting.

Personal Philosophy

The current personal philosophy (which does not meet the definition of personal curriculum philosophy) does not consider the original philosophy of curriculum expressed in the first assignment, which aligned with the learner-centered ideology. There is absolutely no correlation between the two. 

Ideological elements incorporated into personal philosophy is lacking because the personal philosophy is not right

Personal philosophy’s appropriateness for the instructional setting does not apply because the instructional setting is missing

Curricular or instructional strategies and justification of instructional strategies is not satisfactory.
