The purpose of this study was to evaluate the 10 th grade mathematics curriculum of General Secondary Education Institutions through the perceptions of mathematics teachers, students, and classroom observations.In this study, mixed method design and Malcolm Provus' Discrepancy Evaluation Model was utilized.Data were collected through questionnaire, semi-structured interview schedule and observation form.Participants of this study were 136 students and 8 mathematics teachers chosen through convenient sampling strategy.The quantitative data were analyzed by using SPSS 22.0 and qualitative data were analyzed through content analysis.The results indicated that although the existing program was planned as learner centered, the implementation process revealed that teachers maintained their traditional roles and teacher-centered methods.There was a discrepancy between the curriculum and implementation process.In order to improve the implementation stage of the curriculum, it can be suggested that in-service training programs about different teaching learning and assessment strategies can be provided, the cooperation between teachers, parents and schools can be strengthened, and finally, teachers can be provided with necessary teaching materials.
