Abstract

Abstract. This study aims to analyze the implementation of differentiated learning within the Kurikulum Merdeka in Biology subjects at SMAN 1 Sendana. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation techniques. The theoretical framework refers to Carol Ann Tomlinson’s concept of Differentiated Instruction, which emphasizes the adaptation of content, process, and product of learning based on students’ readiness, interests, and learning profiles. The findings indicate that Biology teachers have implemented differentiated learning through diagnostic assessments, curriculum analysis, and strategies for differentiating content, process, and product. Evaluation is carried out continuously using both formative and summative approaches. Although the delivery of material has not been fully adjusted to students’ levels of learning readiness, differentiated learning is effectively implemented and fosters an inclusive, student-centered learning environment. These findings provide practical contributions for Biology teachers and other schools in designing adaptive learning aligned with the principles of Kurikulum Merdeka, as well as serving as a reference for developing instructional strategies that are responsive to student diversity.Keywords:  Differentiated instruction, Independent Curriculum, Biology, Diagnostic assessment, Teaching strategy

Abstract

Abstract. This study aims to enhance students’ conceptual understandings of the circulatory system topic by utilizing multiple representations. The method used is Classroom Action Research (CAR), with two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subjects were students in grade 11-Merdeka 6 at SMA Negeri 8 Makassar. The results showed that using multiple representations (macro, micro, sub-micro, and symbolic) significantly increased student understanding of the structure and function of the human circulatory system. The students’ score average increased from 63 in cycle-1 to 77 in cycle-2, with classical mastery increasing from 3.45% to 89.66%. The average N-Gain score of 0.375 falls into the moderate category. This study implies that the multiple representations strategy is effective in deepening students' understanding of abstract biological concepts.Keywords: multiple representations, knowledge of the circulatory system, action research.
