Therefore, teachers’ curriculum literacy status and planning competency are required to be evaluated. This research aims to investigate the relationship between the secondary school teachers’ perception of proficiency in instructional planning and curriculum literacy levels. Relational screening model was used in the research. “The Scale for Perception of Proficiency in Instructional Planning” by Gülbahar (2016) and “The Scale for Curriculum Literacy Level” by Kahramanoğlu (2019) were used in the research. The population consists of 5448 secondary school teachers working in central districts of Diyarbakır. The sample corresponds to 675 secondary school teachers determined by simple random sampling. The scales were applied face to face. Descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient were made use of in data analysis. The findings show that there is no significant difference in secondary school teachers’ perceptions of instructional planning depending on faculty of graduation, school type, weekly hour of lessons, getting in-service training. While school type, weekly hour of lessons, getting in-service training are the variables leading to significant difference in curriculum literacy levels, the faculty of graduation variable does not have an effect on secondary school teachers’ curriculum literacy levels. It was also found that there is a positive relationship between the secondary school teachers’ perception of instructional planning proficiency and curriculum literacy on moderate level. It is suggested that teachers’ knowledge and attitude about the application of the curriculum be evaluated. Accordingly, teachers can be provided with in- service training.
