Abstract This study investigates the implementation of English teaching practices under the Kurikulum Merdeka in SMP Negeri 1 Toho and identifies challenges encountered by educators. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through observations and interviews with three teachers, including a kurikulum coordinator and two English instructors. Classroom observations were conducted in classes VII-C, VIII-A, and IX-C, each comprising 30–34 students. Findings reveal that teachers have adopted strategies consistent with Kurikulum Merdeka principles, such as project-based learning and technology integration.

Abstract

This research aims to assess English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching practices in the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum and identify challenges faced by teachers in applying it at the secondary school level. The research employed a case study approach with interviews as the data collection instrument, involving one curriculum teacher and one English teacher at SMPS PGRI 1 Sungai Raya Kepulauan. The findings show that teachers have developed a basic understanding of the curriculum that allows them to apply it, although not comprehensively. Teachers adopt student-centered approaches and integrate technology in the classroom, aligning with the core principles of the Merdeka Curriculum. The main challenges identified include the lack of specific training related to curriculum implementation, difficulties integrating existing pedagogical approaches with the demands of the new curriculum, and student adaptation to new learning methods. Despite facing challenges, teachers have demonstrated resilience and adaptability in implementing the curriculum relatively effectively.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of professional development in supporting the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum at SMAS Tunas Bhakti Pontianak. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were gathered through interviews with an English teacher and the Vice Principal for Curriculum, as well as classroom and training observations. Thematic analysis revealed that professional development improves teachers’ ability to design teaching tools, apply student-centered methods, and implement project-based learning. Participation in training and learning communities (Kombel) strengthened pedagogical skills and collaboration. Despite facing limited resources and time constraints, teachers showed increased readiness and adaptability in implementing the curriculum. The findings emphasize the importance of sustainable, relevant, and practical training programs to ensure successful curriculum implementation.

Abstract

This study aims to identify gaps and needs in English language teaching practices to support a more effective implementation of Merdeka Curriculum at SMAS Tunas Bhakti Pontianak, a small private school with limited resources. Merdeka Curriculum emphasizes differentiated learning, character strengthening through the Pancasila Student Profile, and project-based learning approaches. However, in its implementation, various obstacles emerged, such as teachers' limited understanding of new learning approaches, low student engagement, and the dominance of conventional learning methods. In addition, the lack of infrastructure such as digital devices, collaborative spaces, and varied learning media is also an additional obstacle. This study also found that teachers need continuous and specific professional training related to teaching module development, differentiated learning design, and PjBL implementation. The results of this study contribute to improving teacher capacity and school readiness in implementing Merdeka Curriculum, and provide input for stakeholders to design mentoring programs that are appropriate to the conditions in the field.
