Abstract

The implementation of Kurikulum Merdeka in Indonesia emphasizes flexibility and essential learning materials to develop students' competencies and characters. Therefore, since 2022, all teachers are required to adapt student-centered learning methods in their teaching process. One of the proposed methods is differentiated learning that allows students to be recognized based on their learning preparation, learning interests and learning profiles. As regulation, teachers are required to create student profiles using various instruments to map students and become the basis of differentiated learning. When differentiated learning is implemented in Indonesia with various backgrounds both cultural and learning styles, teachers face new challenges. Therefore, this study was conducted to review the application of differentiated learning methods as part of the implementation of Kurikulum Merdeka. Observation is carried out by filling out an Observation Form that focuses on the application of differentiated learning based on the accuracy of content, process, and product. Interviews were also used to clarify the findings. Qualitative data obtained through the two methods were analyzed descriptively by following the stages proposed by Cresswell, namely transcribing, coding and classifying, interpreting, and drawing conclusions. The results showed the implementation of differentiated learning in public secondary schools in Tapin Regency. The implementation of differentiated learning is at the pre-learning stage, during learning, and at the evaluation stage.

Abstract

This training program, conducted as part of a community service initiative, aims to enhance English teachers’ competencies in integrating local wisdom and environment insight into learning, with an emphasis on teaching practice (peer teaching) and simulations using innovative media. The program was implemented through a series of training sessions that provided each participant with opportunities to practice teaching strategies, develop materials based on regional potential, and design authentic assessments. Pre-test results showed that most teachers were in the moderate category in understanding and applying local wisdom-based learning, with weaknesses in the aspects of authentic evaluation and material format suitability. During the training, the peer teaching model enabled teachers to provide constructive feedback to each other, while innovative media simulations encouraged creativity and technological skills. Questionnaire feedback indicated that teachers felt this method helped “bring the learning context closer to students’ lives.” These findings confirm that combining peer teaching with innovative media simulations is effective in improving teachers’ pedagogical skills while reinforcing the relevance of teaching materials to local contexts.

Abstract

The integration of digital learning technologies has transformed educational practices worldwide, especially in the era of Kurikulum Merdeka in Indonesia. The Merdeka Mengajar Platform (MMP) was introduced by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology to enhance teachers’ pedagogical competence, provide professional learning materials, and facilitate innovative classroom practices. However, the extent to which Englist teachers in South Kalimantan utilize this platform remains underexplored. This study aimed at investigating the perception, frequency, and challenges associated with the use of Merdeka Mengajar Platform among English teachers. A qualitative survey designed was employed, and data were collected from 100 English teachers through a structured online questionnaire. The study examines teachers’ perspective using two frameworks: the Teachnology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework. The analysis revealed that 96.5% of respondents perceived the platform as beneficial, yet it needs policy interventions to improve accessibility, technical support, and motivational strategies. This research contributes to the understanding of technology integration in language education and offer empirical evidence for further refinement of the Merdeka Mengajar Platform.Keywords: Merdeka Mengajar Platform, Teacher Competence, Digital Pedagogy, English Educatio
