ANALISIS KESULITAN GURU DALAM IMPLEMENTASI KURIKULUM MERDEKA

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to explore teachers' understanding, planning, and
implementation of learning related to the Independent Curriculum at SD
Alkhairaat Kotapulu. The research method used is qualitative. The findings reveal
that teachers' understanding of the Independent Curriculum is generally good,
although further strengthening is needed in practical implementation. Learning
planning has adopted the principles of the Independent Curriculum but is hindered
by limited facilities. Learning implementation shows positive outcomes with diverse
methods and active student engagement, although there are challenges in
technology usage. Teachers face difficulties in implementing the Independent
Curriculum, including limited facilities, administrative burdens, demands for
improved IT skills, and a lack of regular training. This study recommends enhancing
teachers' understanding through continuous training, providing adequate facilities,
technological support, reducing administrative burdens, and conducting regular
curriculum evaluation and adjustments.
