Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum is one of the policies issued by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology to overcome the education crisis facing Indonesia after COVID-19. The Merdeka Curriculum focuses on the use of technology and learning communities to share practices between teachers and students. In this way, it is hoped that learning can be restored from 2022 to 2024. This research aims to analyze the Merdeka Curriculum based on the viewpoint of the educational curriculum theory constellation, the concept of the Merdeka Curriculum in terms of Curriculum Theory fulfills the curriculum elements as stated by John D. Neil. He put forward four types of curriculum concepts, namely: academic, humanistic, social reconstruction and technological curriculum. This is the aim of the Merdeka curriculum, namely to restore the quality of education and perfect the curriculum that has been implemented. More than that, the Merdeka curriculum can be a valuable and cutting-edge breakthrough to boost the quality of our education so that it is on par with the quality of education in developed countries. This policy certainly has very broad implications in the practice of implementation, both by schools, teachers and students. Freedom is a human right, everyone has the freedom to be creative and innovate according to their talents and abilities. Likewise in thinking, in the context of school education, teachers are required to be independent in their thinking so that they can teach all the information they obtain to students. Teachers are no longer fixated on providing information from one source, with a learning process that leads to critical thinking, in this case, students are required to be able to search for information and discover various concepts and be able to solve problems. That is why the government, in this case the Ministry of Education and Culture, has issued a curriculum that provides room for freedom for teachers and students. The curriculum is called the Merdeka Curriculum. The method used in this research is the descriptive analysis method, namely the method used to systematically explain empirical facts obtained during field research. Researchers attempt to map empirical facts or data obtained in the field, then analyze them and present them in narratives and arguments.
