Abstract

This study explores the strategies employed by English teachers at SMP Islam De Green Camp, Tanjungpinang, for implementing Differentiated Instruction in alignment with the Kurikulum Merdeka in English classes, as well as the challenges they face in doing so. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, incorporating observations, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. The participants included three English teachers, six inclusive students, and fifty-two regular students. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which involves data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the implementation of Differentiated Instruction at this school is still developing, with content differentiation requiring further enhancement compared to other aspects of differentiation. Teachers are actively adapting teaching strategies, assessments, and classroom environments to meet diverse student needs. Key challenges include varying learning needs, students’ negative attitudes towards English, and limited vocabulary and memorization skills. Despite these obstacles, teachers remain committed to advancing the practice of Differentiated Instruction through professional development, collaboration, and innovative teaching methods. In conclusion, while the implementation of Differentiated Instruction at SMP Islam De Green Camp is progressing, ongoing efforts in professional development and resource allocation are crucial to fully realizing its potential to support diverse student needs within the Kurikulum Merdeka framework.

Abstract

The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Indonesia has brought about significant changes in the educational landscape, particularly through the introduction of Differentiated Instruction. This qualitative descriptive research aimed to analyse the implementation of Differentiated Instruction in the English subject at SMP Islam De Green Camp Tanjungpinang, a Sekolah Penggerak for the Merdeka Curriculum. The study focused on exploring English teachers' perceptions of Differentiated Instruction, their understanding of its concept, and the extent to which it was being implemented in their classrooms. The findings revealed that while teachers generally had a positive perception of the Merdeka Curriculum and Differentiated Instruction, their practical implementation was still evolving. Although they understood the theoretical underpinnings of Differentiated Instruction, there were gaps in fully differentiating all four elements of instruction: content, process, product, and learning environment. This research contributes to the understanding of how Differentiated Instruction is being interpreted and applied in the context of the Merdeka Curriculum, highlighting both the progress made and the areas that require further development to fully realize the potential of Differentiated Instruction in enhancing student learning outcomes.
