The aim of this research is to introduce the conceptual framework of curriculum mapping.

Curriculum mapping is a calendar template-based curriculum planning process in which a

teacher records the content and skills that students gain in the classroom (Jacobs, 1997).

Curriculum Mapping, as a communication, planning and teaching tool (Hale,2008), allows all

teachers to actively participate in the creation of a consistent, continuous curriculum that is in

line with standards, sensitive to student data and school initiatives by documenting their own

curriculum and students' learning experiences, examining each other's curriculum maps,

thinking about them, introducing new ideas. and teaching practices, discuss what works and

what doesn't in their teaching, look for ways to change and improve the curriculum, and

create professional learning communities by creating a collaborative school climate that

positively influences motivation and encourages the institution (Jolly,2011). The question

"How to create curriculum mapping?" is important. A web-based mapping system provides

instant access to the curricula of all educational institutions with the click of a mouse. For this

reason, it is argued Web-based technology should be used in curriculum mapping studies in

the 21st century (Jacobs, 2004; Hale, 2008; Udelhofen, 2005). For this reason, curriculum

mapping has found its place in technological environments with systems such as Chalk,

Curriculum Mapper, CurricuPlan, Atlas Rubicon, Toddle, ExamSoft, Sofia Curriculum in the

world.
