In this research, “phenomenology research design” was adopted. The participants of the research consisted of volunteering teachers (n = 261) working in ten public high schools in the province of Nigde, Turkey.

According to the findings of the research, the teachers were seen to produce a total of 48 well-structured metaphors for curriculum concept, which were then grouped under five conceptual categories as guide, problem, system, complex structure, and need.
