The blue print has being manufactured. Criteria is set. Required standard must be upheld. No flexibility. Just like science lab. There is no deviation. Only facts.

Impact - Students might become disengaged and disadvantaged many learners. If you only deliver what's in the product, there is no room to meet individual learner needs.

Positive - Accountability and Transparency: The product model can increase accountability and transparency in curriculum development. By setting clear goals and objectives, educators can be held accountable for student achievement.

Negative - Overemphasis on Structure and Outcomes: A primary focus of the product model is on creating a well-structured curriculum with clearly defined outcomes. While this can be beneficial, an excessive emphasis on structure and outcomes can limit flexibility and creativity in the classroom. It can also lead to a narrow focus on measurable results, neglecting other important aspects of education such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity.
