Abstract

This qualitative study investigates students’ perceptions and experiences regarding the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Indonesian secondary schools. Using a phenomenological approach, the research involved semi-structured interviews with 12 high school students across one province, aiming to explore how students perceive and engage with the curriculum's core elements: flexibility, project-based learning, and formative assessment. Thematic analysis of the interview data revealed four central themes: (1) increased learning autonomy and flexibility, (2) challenges in managing self-directed learning, (3) enhanced engagement through contextual and collaborative learning, and (4) mixed clarity regarding assessment practices. While students appreciated the personalized and meaningful learning experiences afforded by the Merdeka Curriculum, many expressed a need for clearer guidance, structured support, and consistent feedback from teachers. The findings highlight both the transformative potential and the implementation challenges of the Merdeka Curriculum. This study recommends targeted teacher training, improved communication of learning goals and assessment standards, and ongoing support mechanisms to ensure students are equipped to succeed in a more autonomous learning environment.

Abstract

Purpose: This activity aims to empower the community in addressing three major issues in Romadhon Village, Sungaiselan District, namely stunting among toddlers, improper parenting patterns, and juvenile delinquency. The program focuses on increasing community awareness and participation through educational and participatory approaches. Methodology/approach: The activities were carried out through lectures, counseling sessions, field observations, focus group discussions (FGDs), and direct assistance. Data were collected using questionnaires and observations related to family conditions, parenting patterns, and adolescent behavior. Results/findings: The results showed an improvement in community understanding of the importance of proper parenting in preventing stunting. The counseling program and provision of supplementary feeding (PMT) to ten stunted children increased family nutritional awareness. Parenting education for mothers and socialization on juvenile delinquency through lectures on the dangers of drugs and the installation of anti-smoking banners encouraged active youth participation in the village. Conclusions: This community empowerment program effectively enhanced family health awareness, improved parenting practices, and reduced juvenile delinquency behavior. The synergy between students, village authorities, and the community was a key factor in the program’s success. Limitations: The short implementation period limited the measurement of long-term impacts on behavioral change within the community. Contribution: This activity can serve as a model of education- and participation-based community empowerment to improve public health in rural areas.
