Abstract

This study evaluates the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in strengthening literacy and numeracy learning at an elementary school in Grobogan Regency, Indonesia. Despite the policy emphasis on flexible and student-centered learning, schools often face difficulties translating curriculum reforms into effective classroom practices. This study applies the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model integrated with the Taba curriculum development approach to analyze curriculum implementation and teacher practices. A qualitative case study design was used involving one school principal and six teachers at SD Negeri 7 Kuripan. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory classroom observations, and document analysis of curriculum and literacy programs. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis aligned with the CIPP framework and validated through data triangulation. The findings show the need to strengthen literacy–numeracy learning, improve instructional resources, support reflective teacher practices, and enhance the organization of school literacy programs. The study provides practical insights for improving curriculum implementation in elementary education.

Abstract

The Kurikulum Merdeka is an educational innovation designed to enhance learning flexibility by emphasizing essential competencies, literacy, numeracy, and the Pancasila Student Profile. However, its implementation at the elementary school level remains uneven and faces significant challenges. This study synthesizes findings from literature published between 2023 and 2025 using the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation framework. The review identifies key issues, including disparities in teacher readiness, limited instructional resources, and inconsistent understanding of Merdeka Belajar principles across schools. Although several studies report improvements in literacy and numeracy outcomes, these gains are not evenly distributed, and notable differences persist between lower and upper grade classrooms. Principal leadership and teacher motivation emerged as critical enabling factors, while insufficient professional development, limited teaching modules, and inadequate technological infrastructure were major constraints. The study recommends strengthening teacher capacity through contextual, practice-oriented training, improving infrastructure, and implementing continuous supervision and mentoring to optimize Kurikulum Merdeka implementation in elementary education.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum through a pedagogical deep learning approach, referring to meaningful and student-centered learning rather than artificial intelligence, in a bilingual elementary school. A qualitative evaluation was conducted using the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) model. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and document analysis. The findings show that the curriculum aligns with the school's vision and students' needs. Although learning is active and contextual, some teachers require stronger pedagogical competence due to non-linear educational backgrounds, and higher-order thinking practices remain inconsistent. The curriculum positively supports student engagement, character development, and critical thinking. This study contributes practical evidence on implementing the Merdeka Curriculum in bilingual elementary schools and highlights continuous teacher professional development as a key factor for strengthening pedagogical deep learning.
