Kurikulum Merdeka, Islamic Education, Elementary School, Character Development, Learning StrategiesAbstract
This study examines the implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka in MIN 1 Yogyakarta and SD Muhammadiyah Karangploso, two Islamic elementary schools with distinct approaches. The research analyzes adaptation strategies, challenges, and the effectiveness of maintaining Islamic values while ensuring educational quality. A qualitative case study approach was employed, utilizing interviews, observations, and document analysis techniques.
The findings of this study indicate that MIN 1 Yogyakarta implements student-centered learning and character-building projects through P5RA, whereas SD Muhammadiyah Karangploso emphasizes gamification, environmental exploration and entrepreneurship in P5. Key challenges identified include delays in teaching materials, limited resources, and insufficient teacher training, which are mitigated through self-paced and group training sessions.
The Kurikulum Merdeka promotes flexibility and strengthens Islamic character but necessitates continuous evaluation and improvement of facilities. Unlike previous research that focused on policy readiness, this study highlights local innovations and compares practices between public and private schools. These findings provide strategic recommendations for Islamic schools and policymakers to optimize the Kurikulum Merdeka.
