IMPLEMENTASI PENERAPAN METODE DIFERENSIASI TERHADAP PEMBELAJARAN PPKN KELAS V DI SDN MERUYA SELATAN 01

Abstract

Education is an important aspect in forming a generation of intelligent and characterful nation. One of the main elements in the implementation of education is the curriculum, which functions as a guide in the learning process. The Independent Curriculum provides freedom for schools and teachers to design learning according to students' needs. In this context, differentiated learning is a relevant approach to be implemented, especially in the subject of Pancasila and Citizenship Education (PPKn). Differentiated learning provides learning experiences that are tailored to students' learning styles, interests, and readiness, and is able to improve social skills, understanding of Pancasila values, and student learning outcomes. This study aims to analyze the implementation of differentiated learning in the Independent Curriculum at SDN Meruya 01, especially in the subject of PPKn. The results of the study show that although differentiated learning has a positive impact on students' academic and social development, many teachers still experience difficulties in its implementation due to lack of understanding and training. Therefore, an appropriate learning strategy is needed, including differentiation of content, process, and product so that the implementation of differentiated learning can run effectively. This study contributes to understanding the importance of differentiated learning as part of the Independent Curriculum policy and provides recommendations for optimizing its implementation in elementary schools.
