STRATEGI GURU DALAM MENGIMPLEMENTASIKAN KURIKULUM MERDEKA PADA PEMBELAJARAN SEJARAH DI SMA NEGERI 8 BANJARMASIN

Abstract

 In 2022, Indonesia implemented a new educational curriculum system, namely the Kurikulum Merdeka (Independent Curriculum), replacing the previous 2013 Curriculum. The purpose of this study is to explain teachers' strategies in implementing the Kurikulum Merdeka in History learning at SMA Negeri 8 Banjarmasin. The curriculum change has had an impact on history learning. The method used in this research is the descriptive qualitative method. The data collection techniques used were interviews, observation, and documentation. After the data was collected, data analysis was conducted. Based on the research results, it was found that, not all history teachers at SMA Negeri 8 Banjarmasin teach history using the Kurikulum Merdeka; of the three existing teachers, only one implements the Kurikulum Merdeka in history learning. The implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka has only recently been applied, so there are still many things that need to be considered and adjusted based on school readiness. The obstacles faced by both teachers and students in implementing the Kurikulum Merdeka are the lack of teacher readiness in implementing the curriculum and the limited availability of learning textbooks for students. The conclusion of this study is that teachers have good potential in developing the strategies used to deliver material. The obstacles faced by teachers in implementing the Kurikulum Merdeka in history learning are related to the limited availability of facilities or media, as well as the limited allocation of available learning time.
