Abstract

This research aims to identify the challenges faced by teachers and schools while implementing Kurikulum Merdeka, as well as the strategy and support needed by teachers and schools in implementing Kurikulum Merdeka in the border area of Indonesia. This research used a case study approach. Data were collected through interviews and a questionnaire. Thematic analysis and statistical descriptive methods were employed to analyze the data. The research took place in Temajuk village, Paloh sub-district, Sambas regency, specifically at SMP N 4 Paloh and SMA N 2 Paloh. The subject included both school principals and five selected teachers from each school. This research was conducted on March 14, 2025. The principals were interviewed, followed by a questionnaire distribution to the selected teachers. The data collected were analyzed using thematic analysis and statistic descriptive technique. The research results show that SMA N 2 Paloh still faces the limitation of supporting facilities and the teachers' understanding due to a lack of special training. The schools have shown efforts to achieve maximum implementation through the optimization platform PMM and the teachers' study group. While SMP N 4 Paloh is still faced with the limitation of teachers' understanding, an inadequacy of training, and the limitation of supporting infrastructure. The infrastructure improvement and an in-depth training will certainly help the effectiveness of the Implementation of Kurikulum Merdeka in the border area.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate classroom learning practices, identify the challenges faced by teachers, and gather information regarding their readiness during the teaching and learning process in the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in junior high schools in West Kalimantan. This curriculum provides opportunities to enhance creativity and flexibility in learning. The study was conducted using a qualitative descriptive approach, in which participants were selected purposively, consisting of 20 English teachers—10 from urban schools and 10 from rural schools. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The data were analysed using Miles and Huberman’s principles, namely data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The findings show that most teachers have implemented the Merdeka Curriculum, with 80% implementation in urban schools and 40% in rural schools. Teachers encountered several challenges, including limited supporting facilities, inadequate access to technology, and uneven human resource capacity. The results also indicate that most teachers feel ready to implement the curriculum, although their levels of readiness are not uniform. Nevertheless, evaluations from various stakeholders play a significant role in enhancing the successful implementation of this curriculum.
