Curriculum which
is prepared to move the country's education system towards a better place and
student achievement has to be applied properly by practitioners. If a
curriculum cannot be implemented, it means nothing in reality despite of its
being good in theory. In this context, the aim of this study is to present the
curriculum alignment that was implemented in the mathematics lesson in terms of
theory and practice. In the study, case study method, one of the qualitative
research methods, was used. In this study, two teachers’ mathematics lessons of
8th grade in Kahramanmaraş and Gaziantep were recorded, and the recorded
lessons were analysed. In the analysis phase; interpretations were made by
using the objectives, content, education process and assessment components. As
a result, while aims, goals and objectives, learning experiences and assessment
and evaluation components were not compatible, content was compatible in the
current and implemented curriculum. This situation might be evidence that
although learner-centred approaches are based on in our country; subject
centred process, in fact, is applied. It may be helpful to train teachers to
increase their implementing desire for the curriculum.
