Abstract

Curriculum and cognitive level alignment among the intended, the enacted, and the assessed curricula were explored and measured. In particular, the focus of the study was on two domains: content/operations and cognitive levels/processes. Results indicated that cognitive level alignment among the intended, enacted and assessed curricula was .07. Curriculum alignment among the intended, enacted and assessed curricula for the mathematics content/operations was .97. This study contributes to understanding the quality of the relationship among the intended, enacted, and assessed curricula for both cognitive processes and content/operations. The methodological framework used in the study provides a model for subsequent research on curriculum alignment among the three components of the education system.
