Kurikulum Merdeka implementation analysis on the subject of informatics
type: item
description: This study examines the implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka in Informatics at SMAS 2 Pasundan Bandung, focusing on the alignment of curriculum design, learning practices, and adaptation strategies to address obstacles. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with teachers and curriculum developers, and analysis of module documents and Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran (RPP). The results indicate that although school modules are aligned with the national Indikator Capaian Pembelajaran (ICP), the effectiveness of practical sessions is still hampered by limited ICT infrastructure, varying teacher competencies, and limited time allocation. Adaptation strategies such as blended learning, industry partnerships, and the use of educational social media offer creative solutions to enhance learning quality and student participation. This study reveals the crucial role of teacher collaboration and the importance of ongoing training for Informatics teachers. The findings also emphasize the need for equitable policy support and infrastructure investment to optimally achieve the Kurikulum Merdeka's goal of developing independent, creative, and digitally literate Pancasila students. Recommendations for further research include comparative studies across regions and quantitative evaluations of the impact of adaptive interventions on student learning outcomes.
