Curriculum Mapping is an outcomes assessment process involving an analysis of the curriculum. Mapping is an evidence-based way that organizes a visual matrix/tool used to identify relationships between different institution learning structures.
Mapping is inherently about alignment in educational environments around learning, and as Jankowski (2017) observes, alignment is a mechanism by which to counteract incoherence and fragmentation of the college experience. Mapping, therefore, is a strategy for visualizing the areas of where we think learning is happening as it relates to specific learning outcomes (NILOA, 2018).
The process examines the connections (and/or misconnections) within a programs progression of student knowledge/skill/application of subject matter, identifies general education competency pathways, and incorporates institutional goals/mission.
