Keywords:
curriculum integration, development, Independent curriculum, international curriculumAbstract
The Merdeka Curriculum has become the main focus of education reform in Indonesia, aiming to give schools freedom to design curricula according to local needs. However, in the context of globalization, implementing an international curriculum is also important to prepare students to face increasingly complex global challenges. This research uses qualitative methods which aim to investigate the implementation process of International Curriculum Development within the Independent Curriculum Framework at Al-Muhafidzoh Blitar High School, with a focus on implementation methods and approaches, challenges and obstacles faced, as well as the impacts and benefits resulting from the implementation. Research methods include participant observation, in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, and analysis of related documents to gain a comprehensive understanding. The research results show that a collaborative approach between schools, teachers and other stakeholders is an important basis in facilitating successful implementation. However, there are challenges such as a lack of understanding of international standards, limited resources, and curriculum adaptation which are obstacles that need to be overcome. Nonetheless, the positive impacts of the implementation, such as improved student academic achievement and better preparation to face global challenges, demonstrate the importance of the effort. Overall, this research provides an in-depth understanding of the implementation process of International Curriculum Development within the Independent Curriculum Framework at SMA Al-Muhafidzoh Blitar. By identifying effective methods, overcoming challenges, and exploiting the resulting benefits, this implementation has great potential to improve the quality of education and better prepare students to face an increasingly global future.
