Abstract
Curriculum supports teachers the most while teaching necessary skills to shape and guide their students’ future. Therefore, success in education depends on teachers’ having detailed information about curriculum and putting that information into practice in various learning environments. This study aims to examine physical education and sports teachers’ perception about their curriculum literacy levels according to some variables. The data were collected through Curriculum Literacy Perception Scale, developed by Keskin (2020), via Google Form Portal during 2019-2020 Summer semester from 351 physical education and sports teachers. Since the data did not display a normal distribution, non-parametric statistical techniques were used for analysis. Mann-Whitney U test was used for pairwise comparisons and Kruskal Wallis H Test for comparisons involving more than two variables. The findings revealed high levels of curriculum perception levels in sub dimensions and the overall score. The study found no significant differences in physical education and sports teachers’ perception level about their curriculum literacy levels according to “gender”, “educational background”, “length of service”, and “type of school”; however, there were significant differences in the variables “age”, “type of institution”, “curriculum-related courses in undergraduate education”, curriculum-related in-service training programs”, “importance given to curricula” and “employing curriculum in teaching”.
