Abstract: This study aims to study and evaluate how the independent curriculum is implemented in SD IT Adzkia 3
Padang's Driving School. This research is qualitative research using a phenomenological approach. The
research was conducted at SD IT Adzkia 3 Padang, with the key informants being the principal, teacher, and
facilitator. Data collection methods used are observation, documentation, and interviews. The analysis found
that the school implemented the Independent Curriculum in one semester, and the results have shown positive
progress. The stages of SD IT Adzkia 3 in implementing the Merdeka Curriculum started with forming a
team, including the curriculum development team, holding various pieces of training from the ministry and
the Adzkia foundation. Then formulate the vision, mission, and goals of the school according to the
characteristics of the Integrated Islamic school, study and discuss the Independent Curriculum guidelines, and
conduct sharing sessions with the Mobilization School facilitators, both online and offline. Principals create
a dynamic and collaborative school environment by designing programs and projects. Principals, teachers,
students, and other school members work with parents and other stakeholders to implement the Independent
Curriculum.
1 INTRODUCTION
A curriculum comprises four components: objectives,
content, learning methods, and evaluation. It is
necessary to build on a foundation or foundation,
namely philosophy, society, culture, personal
(students), and learning theory (Zais, 1976), to carry
out these four components to synergize well. The
opinions above lead to the conclusion that the
philosophical, social, psychological, scientific, and
technological foundations are the basis for the
curriculum (Safaruddin, 2020). The curriculum must
be examined creatively because it is the "spirit" of
education. Dynamic capabilities regularly updated
and adapted to the times, science, and technology are
needed by graduate users and the public. As a result,
curriculum changes develop into a certainty. No more
rapid advances in science and technology allow the
"comfort zone" curriculum to continue in educational
settings (Barlian et al., 2022).

In educating the nation's life, national education
aims to develop skills and form a noble national
character and civilization. Education seeks to foster
students' abilities to become religious and pious
people. Having noble character, being healthy,
knowledgeable, capable, creative, independent, and
being a democratic citizen, being responsible on
behalf of God Almighty. The education system has
adapted to globalization, in line with the progress of
the times and an increasingly dynamic society (Ineu
et al., 2022); (Gusteti et al., 2021). One of these
changes is through the curriculum, which currently
uses the independent curriculum.
The Merdeka Curriculum can answer
educational problems such as learning loss and efforts
to increase student learning motivation because it
takes too long to study with the online system
(Fahlevi, 2022). The government allows teachers and
educators to adhere to the Independent Curriculum
according to each school's readiness (Fauzi, 2022).

As with academic units, students also learn according
to their needs and readiness. Teachers and
educational institutions must also learn how to
implement the Independent Curriculum. The
Merdeka curriculum has various extracurricular
learning opportunities whose contents are well laid
out so that students have enough time to learn
concepts and become competent. The Merdeka
Curriculum prioritizes student learning outcomes
based on the Pancasila student profile (Aprima & Sari,
2022); (Zainuddin & Zumrudiana, 2022);
(Setiyaningsih & Wiryanto, 2022). The Pancasila
Student Profile forms students' resilience, maintains
the nation's noble values, is ready as a citizen of the
world, is social, and realizes 21st Century skills. It is
reflected in daily behavior (Rusnaini et al., 2021).
Project development to improve the attainment of
Pancasila student profiles is based on a set of
governance themes. Projects are unrelated to the
subject matter because they are not intended to fulfill
specific learning objectives (Fauzi, 2022).
The independent teaching platform is one form
of utilizing technology in learning to support the
independent curriculum in realizing the Pancasila
student profile. This platform is an effort to transform
digital-based education in Indonesia. It aims to assist
teachers and principals in the success of the
independent curriculum, both related to information
related to the independent curriculum, references to
teaching tools, and assessments for teaching in class.
Based on the independent teaching platform
pocketbook, five products are grouped into teacher
development products and teaching and learning
activities. The teacher development products include
inspirational videos, self-training, and evidence of my
work, while the teaching and learning products
include student assessments and teaching tools.
The first product, Inspiration Video, contains a
collection of inspirational videos made by the
Ministry of Education and Culture and experts as a
reference for increasing competency as educators.
The second product, Independent Training, contains
various short training materials to conduct training
independently, anytime and anywhere. The third
product, Proof of My Work, functions as a place for
documentation of work to describe performance,
competence, and achievements while carrying out the
teaching and principal profession, as well as a forum
for sharing good practices and getting feedback from
colleagues. The fourth product, Student Assessment,
is to help teachers conduct literacy and numeracy
diagnostic analysis quickly so that they can apply it
to learn appropriate to the stage of achievement and
development of students. The fifth product, teaching
kits, contains various teaching materials to support
teaching and learning activities, such as teaching
materials, teaching modules, project modules, or
textbooks.
On 1 February 2021, the Minister of Education,
Culture, Research, and Technology inaugurated the
Mobilization School program starting in the
2021/2222 school year. The driving school program
is implemented in 2,500 schools in Indonesia. This
program is implemented in stages. Already advanced
schools become the driving force for schools that still
need structured support. However, researchers and
educational observers have started to discuss this
program. Nadim believes that to produce graduates
who fit the profile of Pancasila students, school
culture must also be focused on innovation and child-
centered learning in addition to administrative
strategies. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Education and
Culture is promoting this initiative as a form of
educational reform that strongly emphasizes cultural
change. By modifying students' character and the
characteristics of the Indonesian school environment,
this school mobilization program will serve as an
entry point to a curriculum that focuses on student
needs (Ineu et al., 2022).
The five interventions that make up the School
Mobilization Program are interconnected and
inseparable (Ineu et al., 2022): (1) Consultative and
asymmetric support The Ministry of Education and
Culture and local governments collaborate in a
program where the Ministry of Education and Culture
implements School assistance mover; (2) Increasing
school human resources by strengthening school
principals, school supervisors, supervisors, and
teachers through one-on-one training and mentoring
(coaching) programs with professional trainers; (3)
Peer Education with a basic learning paradigm that is
focused on developing skills and character
development in line with the Pancasila precepts in the
classroom and extracurricular learning process; (4)
Planning based on data management based on school
reflections; and (5) Digitalization of education by
using various digital platforms to reduce friction,
increase efficiency, increase inspiration, and achieve
set goals.
SD IT Adzkia 3 Padang is a driving school and
uses the Merdeka Curriculum starting from the odd
semester of the 2022/2023 academic year. SD IT
Adzkia 3 has implemented this program for one
semester. Based on the concept of the Independent
Curriculum, academic units design their operational
curriculum according to the needs and characteristics
of the school. For this reason, this study discusses the

implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum at SD
Adzkia 3 Padang.
2 METHODOLOGY
This research is qualitative research using a
phenomenological approach. This approach was
chosen because the researcher wanted to evaluate the
phenomena encountered by essential informants. The
research analyzes phenomena, social behavior, or
individual or collective thinking. The research was
conducted at SD IT Adzkia 3 Padang.
The sampling technique used in this research is
purposive sampling. The research subject is everyone
with in-depth knowledge of the problem (key
informant). The steps used to obtain data are (a)
extending the data collection period; (b) making
regular and profound observations; (c) using
triangulation; and (d) involving colleagues in the
conversation (Creswell, 2016).
The steps and techniques of research data analysis
are as follows: a). all phenomena and experiences of
research subjects are fully described by the researcher,
b). the next researcher identifies the statements
(interview findings), describes them, and develops
them further without repeating them, c). then, the
statement is concluded in critical parts, and a detailed
description of the experience is written, d). the
researcher then uses all his imaginative variations to
reflect on his ideas, e). the researcher then develops
all justifications for the significance and core of the
explanation, and f). based on the experiences of all
informants, the researcher summarizes his findings in
a written report.
This study describes the implementation of the
independent curriculum in SD IT Adzkia 3 Padang
driving schools. Is this independent curriculum
implemented well, or what obstacles are encountered,
and what are the solutions? The subjects of this study
were grade 1 and 4 teachers and school principals.
This research was conducted through interviews,
direct observation, and documentation.
3 RESEARCH RESULTS AND
DISCUSSION
SD IT Adzkia 3 Padang is located in Lolong Belanti,
North Padang District, Padang City. SD IT Adzkia 3
is a driving school led by Mrs. Nurmaini, S. Pd.
Mobilizing School is one of the Freedom Learning
programs. SD IT Adzkia 3 became a Mobilizing
School and began implementing the Merdeka
Curriculum in the odd semester of the 2022/2023
school year for grades 1 and 4.
The Merdeka Curriculum is the 15th
transformation carried out by the government in the
context of recovering from a learning crisis,
improving the quality of learning, and being the latest
breakthrough in helping curriculum teachers combine
various extracurricular activities, whose content will
be better organized so that students have enough time
to explore ideas. and build competency. The Merdeka
Curriculum concentrates more on crucial material and
more comprehensive learning. In addition, teachers
can modify their lessons to suit students'
developmental and academic status.
Implementation of the Independent Curriculum at
SD IT Adzkia 3, namely; first, the Head of SD IT
Adzkia formed a School Mobilization team. This
team is a group at the education unit level of teachers
selected by the principal and school supervisor. The
committee's role is to plan, implement, and assess
instruction according to student needs. The school
works with stakeholders to improve teaching
standards. Second, holding training on the
Independent Curriculum. This training is to improve
the competence of teachers and educators regarding
the Independent Curriculum and how to implement it.

Figure 1 is the In-House Training (IHT) on
implementing the Independent Curriculum (IKM)
organized by the West Sumatra Adzkia Foundation
for Adzkia schools. This activity was held on
Saturday, 16 July 2022, at the Adzkia Convention
Center (ACC) with Mr. Dr. Sukro Muhab, M.Sc.

Because SD IT 3 Adzkia is an integrated Islamic
school, this IKM is integrated with the characteristics
of the Integrated Islamic School Network.
Figure 2: Merdeka Curriculum Training (Image Source:

SD IT Adzkia 3 also held advanced training at its
school. This training was held on Saturday, July 23,
2022, at SD IT Adzkia 3, attended by school
principals, curriculum representatives, student
representatives, teachers, and school operators. An
expert trainer provided the training for the School
Mobilization Program, Ms. Irawati, M. Pd. This
activity discusses lesson planning, assessment, and
preparation of the Pancasila Student Profile
Strengthening Project (P5). In addition to this training,
the school regularly holds discussions with the School
Mobilization Facilitator from the ministry, which are
held online and offline.
The third step is formulating the vision, mission,
and goals of the school by the characteristics of the
school, outlining the critical steps in line with the
mission; describing the education unit plan to achieve
its educational goals; and focusing on the competence
and character of a school that is unique to graduates
of academic units and following the profile of
Pancasila students. Fourth, hold a meeting with the
Curriculum Development Team. In implementing the
Independent Curriculum, the school principal and the
Curriculum Development Team hold regular
meetings. The curriculum development team is the
Principal, representatives of the curriculum sector,
and the learning committee. Fifth, use guidelines
from the Directorate General of Teachers and
Education Personnel of the Ministry of Education and
Culture in implementing the Independent Curriculum.
This guide includes creating Learning Outcomes (CP),
Learning Objectives (TP), and Learning Objective
Flow (ATP), including teaching modules, IHT guides,
and P5 guides. Sixth, discuss with supervisors, school
facilitators, and foundations.
The Merdeka Curriculum innovation in raising
the profile of Pancasila students seeks to produce
Indonesian students who can become democratic
citizens and superior and successful individuals in the
21st century. According to the Ministry of Education
and Culture's Handbook, project-based learning
strengthens Pancasila students by enabling
participants to develop creative and inspirational
works (Standards, Curriculum, and Educational
Assessment Agency, 2022). Local wisdom is one of
the topics discussed in the Strengthening Pancasila
student profile project.
Schools must create a learning model
emphasizing cross-curricular integration and choose
project-based evaluation as part of the Pancasila
Student Profile Project. It is intended that students get
hands-on experience and learn from practice while
using this paradigm. Integration of basic abilities and
skills acquired by students across disciplines is
possible with the learning project model, which also
makes the learning structure more independent and
adaptive (Shalikha, 2022); (Saputra et al., 2022);
(Rachmawati et al., 2022); (Nurasiah et al., 2022);
(Khoirillah et al., 2022);(Jufri, 2022).
Teachers must be equipped to do projects that
prioritize local wisdom because it is one of the themes
in the project to strengthen the Pancasila Student
Profile. It is necessary so that the project to strengthen
the Pancasila Student Profile can be implemented
successfully. It is hoped that by raising local wisdom

subjects in the Pancasila student stabilization project,
education will be able to mediate the best possible
growth and teaching of students' potential, especially
about transforming cultural values. To achieve this,
teachers must be trained to implement initiatives that
will enhance local wisdom and exploit the potential
of the environment to elevate the Pancasila Student
Profile. Teachers can help students use project-based
learning methods and models by providing them with
the necessary knowledge and skills (Marzuki &
Oktarianto, 2022); (Nurasiah et al., 2022); (Nisa,
2022); (Hidayati et al., 2022).
In implementing project learning, schools design
projects for one semester with the stages in Figure 3.

The project to strengthen the Pancasila Student
Profile at SD IT Adzkia 3 uses the theme "Sustainable
Lifestyle" with the topic. “Charity Managed Waste
Coming.” The description of the activities of this
project includes presenting the project program to
parents of students with the theme "Sakinah Garbage
Bank Survey," inviting guest teachers with the theme
"Selection of Organic, Inorganic, and B3 Waste",
carrying out waste selection practices with
educational visits about waste utilization to the
Garbage Bank Sakinah, carried out the practice of
utilizing segregated waste, held an exhibition of
processed waste products with the theme "Parenting
Parents with the topic of Waste Hazards."

Figure 4 is the next implementation stage of the
Project to strengthen the Pancasila Student Profile,
namely visiting the Sakinah Garbage Bank. This
activity was attended by grade 1 students and
accompanied by teachers and school principals. The
characters to be achieved with this project are
students with a profile of belief in one God, who is
independent, and who have a spirit of mutual
cooperation.

The strength of SD IT Adzkia 3 in
implementing the Merdeka Curriculum is that the
principal has a high commitment and continues to
strive to encourage and strengthen teachers in
implementing it. The school also has human
resources, which the foundation always supports by
increasing its competence through various forms of
training. Learning facilities and infrastructure are also
fully supported by the Foundation. Activities are
constantly monitored and evaluated regularly, and
reported. Activities are always accompanied by the
agency, for example, KKG. The school has done its
module and is approaching the P5 module made by
the ministry. Implementation of P5 has started to
show results as something that can be taken as a guide
in the second semester.
What is particularly concerning to schools in
implementing the Independent Curriculum is
implementing differentiated learning. Teachers'
understanding of differentiated learning is still
lacking. Teachers need direct guidance in designing,
implementing, and evaluating differentiated learning.
Determining the theme of the project did not involve
students. The teachers' ability needs to be
continuously trained and honed to ask open questions
or trigger questions to students to explore ideas from
students. Schools also do not understand the form of
assessment in the independent curriculum. Teachers
do not understand how to make instruments and
assessment rubrics. Efforts that have been made to
overcome this are holding discussions with
facilitators, holding discussions in Teacher Working
Groups (KKG) and discussions with teams at schools,
viewing videos about differentiated learning on the
Merdeka Teaching Platform (PMM), holding
discussions with a community of practitioners and
bringing in outside instructor. There is no systematic
structure of the practitioner community, scheduling,
and mechanism. Teachers must learn the independent
curriculum more because schools are full days. So it
is hoped that the socialization of the independent
curriculum needs to be increased by providing direct
guidance to teachers consistently in designing and
practicing differentiated learning, conducting
assessments, making instruments, and scoring
rubrics.
4 CONCLUSION
The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum at
SD IT Adzkia 3 is carried out by (1) Forming a team,
(2) Holding In House Training (IHT) either from the
ministry, foundation, or from the school, (3)
Formulating the vision, mission, and goals of the
school following school characteristics, (4)
Formulate the curriculum of the education unit with
the Curriculum Development Team. (5) Using
guidelines from the Directorate General of Teachers
and Education Personnel of the Ministry of Education
and Culture in implementing the Independent
Curriculum, (6) Carrying out guidance with the
School Facilitators and Supervisors in implementing
the Independent Curriculum. SD IT Adzkia 3, in
implementing the Merdeka Curriculum, is supported
by the Principal and HR, whom the foundation always
supports by increasing their competence through
various forms of training. Implementation of P5 has
been carried out according to the guidelines.
However, the thing to note is that the teacher's
understanding of differentiation learning is still
lacking. Teachers need direct guidance in designing,
implementing, and evaluating differentiated learning.
Teachers do not understand how to make instruments
and assessment rubrics. So the hope is that the
socialization of the independent curriculum needs to
be increased by providing direct guidance to teachers
consistently. Researchers hope that implementing the
Independent Curriculum at SD IT Adzkia can be
continuously improved, schools can share good
practices with other schools, and SD IT Adzkia 3 can
become a pilot school.
