Abstract :This research aims to explain the relationship between teachers\' curriculum literacy and their curriculum fidelity. In this study, which was carried out using the correlational survey model, \"curriculum literacy\" and \" curriculum fidelity\" scales were used for data collection. The sample consists of 712 teachers working at various levels in the city centers of Elazig and Afyonkarahisar in Türkiye, selected through easy sampling. In the study, it has been determined that female teachers have higher curriculum fidelity than male teachers do. In addition, a statistically significant, positive and moderate relationship has been found between curriculum literacy and curriculum fidelity. According to the results of the regression analysis, it has been found out that the program literacy scale explained approximately 25.7% of the variance of the curriculum fidelity scores (R2=.257). According to the literature, teachers\' curriculum fidelity is important for success. From the research findings, it can be seen that curriculum literacy, which affects curriculum fidelity, is also important and effective. For this reason, providing curriculum literacy seminars and trainings to teachers will also positively affect curriculum fidelity.
