Abstract

Curriculum administration is an essential element in ensuring that educational implementation runs effectively, consistently, and in accordance with students’ needs. This study emphasizes that curriculum administration is not merely an administrative activity but also plays a strategic role in linking curriculum documents with classroom learning practices. Using a literature review method, this study examines literature related to curriculum planning, implementation, supervision, and evaluation, as well as the challenges that arise in curriculum implementation. The findings indicate that learning flexibility is a key factor; however, an increase in administrative workload can reduce teaching time, cause teacher stress, and limit innovation. Therefore, the success of curriculum administration depends on balancing administrative demands with pedagogical needs, as well as the active involvement of all stakeholders, including school principals, teachers, educational staff, and the educational community. The integration of technology and professional development has also been shown to support the efficiency of curriculum management. Through adaptive, collaborative, and responsive approaches, curriculum administration is able to improve learning quality, student achievement, and schools’ capacity to respond to contemporary changes. This study affirms that curriculum administration should be viewed as a strategic instrument that supports the comprehensive and sustainable achievement of educational goals in Indonesia.

Abstract

Conflicts over forest resource control often stem from discrepancies between state policies and local land tenure practices. In West Pasaman Regency, West Sumatra, the government granted a 1,590-hectare concession to a cooperative under the Community Plantation Forest (HTR) scheme, with a legal permit valid for 35 years. However, the land has long been occupied and managed by local communities through Siliah Jariah. Tensions emerged due to the absence of formal recognition of socially legitimate claims made by these communities. This study employed a qualitative approach using a case study method in Pigogah Patibubur. Primary data were collected through in-depth interviews with 11 purposively selected informants and direct field observations. The informants included farmers, the head of the Nagari Customary Council (KAN), a former employee of the ex-timber concession PT SSS, and forestry officials. Secondary data were obtained through the review of official documents. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns of land access and control based on legal and social aspects of the community. The findings reveal that local communities' social legitimacy conflicts with state-backed legal claims, exacerbated by asymmetrical power relations among actors. This study recommends a more inclusive approach to land conflict resolution, one that considers both formal legal frameworks and the rights of indigenous communities.
