The study was designed as a relational survey study and involved the participation of 250 elementary school teachers. For data collection, a personal information form (PIF), the Curriculum Fidelity Scale (CFS), and Curriculum Literacy Scale (CLS) were used. The data collected were analysed using multiple hierarchical regression analysis. According to the findings, gender, seniority, class size, course load, class level, and the number of students with special educational needs (NSSEN) explained 8.7% of the adherence dimension of the CFS.  \nThe reading and writing dimensions of the CLS significantly predicted the adherence dimension of the CFS at 4.6%. The predictive variables, i.e., gender, seniority, class size, course load, and NSSEN, explained only 2% of the adaptation dimension of the CFS. The reading and writing dimensions of the CLS significantly predicted the adaptation dimension of the CFS at 19.2%. In summary, the elementary schoolteachers' adherence behavioursin terms of curriculum fidelity were mainly impacted by demographic variables, whereas their adaptation behaviours were mainly impacted by curriculum literacy.  \nKeywords: curriculum literacy, curriculum fidelity, curriculum  \nIntroduction  \nCurricula have four components: objective, content, methods, and assessment. Although educational psychology, educational sociology, educational philosophy, and educational economics are considered when determining these four components, the expected outcome and the actual outcome may not always coincide when implementing the curriculum. A dilemma emerges over whether the curriculum should be applied verbatim or adapted to the psychological, sociological, philosophical, or economic situations encountered in the learning environment. This dilemma entails two concepts: curriculum fidelity and curriculum adaptation.  \n􀀍Assistant Professor, Dicle University, Türkiye.  \n􀁲Associate Professor, Dicle University, Türkiye.  \nLiterature Review  \nCurriculum fidelity refers to the full or partial use of the curriculum, following the specifications set by the curriculum developers, by all stakeholders, such as teachers, group leaders, and curriculum experts (Breitenstein et al., 2010; Century, Rudnick, & Freeman, 2010; Pence, Justice, & Wiggins, 2008; Yasaroglu & Manav, 2015). The literature features other definitions of curriculum fidelity, including adherence to the designed form of a curriculum (Bumen, Cakar, & Yildiz, 2014), consistency between the applied curriculum and the original design (Summerfelt, 2003), and correspondence between learning outcomes and curriculum objectives (Melde, Esbensen, & Tusinski, 2006).  \nWithin the scope of the discussions on curriculum fidelity and curriculum adaptation, some researchers have proposed a balancing third option that involves a commitment to the fundamental structure of the curriculum and the option of making adaptations to it together with all stakeholders (Daele et al., 2012). Cho (1998), who put forward positivist fidelity tendencies and post-positivist adaptation practices as the two traditional approaches, presented a third way that involved teachers and students following a constructive understanding of curriculum in the classroom. Durlak and DuPre (2008) argued that adaptation in some circumstances could improve curriculum outcomes, while in other circumstances it can hinder the success of the curriculum.  \nApart from those researchers who suggest a third way and those who oppose it, there are also researchers who advocate either strict adaptation or strict fidelity. Hill, Maucione, and Hood (2007) argued that the content and structure of cu","cbCaifCpEWKIAv9d","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifCpEWKIAv9d","pdf",345400,"English","# Introduction\n# Literature Review","[{\"question\":\"What was the study’s main aim?\",\"answer\":\"To determine whether curriculum fidelity can be significantly predicted by demographic variables and the curriculum literacy level of elementary school teachers.\"},{\"question\":\"Which instruments were used for data collection?\",\"answer\":\"A personal information form (PIF), the Curriculum Fidelity Scale (CFS), and the Curriculum Literacy Scale (CLS).\"},{\"question\":\"What variables most strongly influenced curriculum fidelity outcomes?\",\"answer\":\"Demographic variables mainly impacted CFS adherence behaviors, while curriculum literacy—particularly reading and writing dimensions—mainly impacted CFS adaptation behaviors.\"}]","Prediction of Elementary School Teachers' Curriculum Fidelity by Demographic Variables and Curriculum Literacy | PDF",1792077052,48]
