Abstract

Government policies, including curriculum development, significantly impact education quality. Indonesia's frequent curriculum changes contrast with Türkiye's 2017 curriculum overhaul. Türkiye outperforms Indonesia in science literacy based on PISA 2018 results. The Merdeka Belajar policy aims to enhance Indonesia's global competitiveness, particularly in STEM education. Curriculum approaches differ, with Türkiye emphasizing practical learning and early physics concepts, while Indonesia relies more on rote memorization. Frequent curriculum changes in Indonesia stem from political and regional factors. This study highlights disparities in PISA scores and curriculum structures, underscoring areas for Indonesia's improvement. Adapting to international standards while considering local contexts is crucial for enhanced science literacy. The research employs a case study methodology, utilizing curriculum documents, interviews, and research articles for analysis, providing insights and recommendations for both countries. Research results indicate that Türkiye's structured curriculum and emphasis on practical learning contribute to its higher science literacy scores compared to Indonesia. In conclusion, this study underscores the need for Indonesia to align its curriculum policies with international standards, while also focusing on fostering critical thinking and practical learning approaches to enhance science literacy outcomes and remain globally competitive in education.Keywords: Curriculum Development; Education Policies; Science Literacy; Comparative Study

Abstract

The recognition of Arabic vocabulary in early childhood education is a vital component in fostering foundational language skills, yet remains constrained by limited access to effective learning media. This study aims to develop animated video media using the Macromedia Flash application to support Arabic vocabulary acquisition among early learners in preschool settings. Utilizing a research and development approach with a modified 4-D modelÔÇöfocusing on the define, design, and develop stagesÔÇöthe study employed expert validation sheets and teacher response questionnaires to evaluate the mediaÔÇÖs validity and practicality. The animated video, themed around school equipment, was designed to promote vocabulary learning through engaging visual narratives. The media attained a high validity score of 89.33% in terms of construct, content, and language, and a 90% practicality rating from educators, indicating its relevance and applicability in classroom contexts. These findings affirm that the developed animated video is both valid and practical, offering a promising tool for enhancing Arabic vocabulary instruction in early childhood education.┬á┬á
