Second, what are the criteria on which to judge the properness of the processes of setting up educational goals? Third, what are the criteria on which to judge the validity of the processes of selecting and organizing the educational contents as cultural heritage? What are the criteria on which to judge the goodness of the processes of developing the guidelines for the organization and implementation of the curriculum? Fifth, what are the criteria on which to judge the desirableness of the processes of developing the textbooks as learning materials?
