Abstract

The transition from the 2013 Curriculum to the Merdeka Curriculum in Indonesia represents a significant shift in the educational landscape, aiming to provide greater flexibility and autonomy for schools to adapt teaching to student needs and local contexts. This study examines the impact of this curriculum change at SMAN 1 Sukadana, Ciamis Regency, focusing on its effects on pedagogical approaches, student engagement, and educational outcomes. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to teachers and students. The findings indicate that the adoption of the Merdeka Curriculum has encouraged teachers to implement more innovative and interactive teaching methods, such as project-based and cooperative learning, which have significantly increased student engagement and motivation. However, challenges such as inadequate teacher readiness, resistance to new methodologies, and limited infrastructure were identified as key barriers to effective implementation. These findings align with Kotter's organizational change theory, emphasizing the importance of systematic support, continuous professional development, and collaboration among educators and school leadership to facilitate successful curriculum adoption. The study also applies constructivist learning theory and the ARCS motivation model, demonstrating that student-centered approaches enhance learning experiences and outcomes. Despite its contributions, the study acknowledges limitations in sample size and scope, suggesting the need for further longitudinal research to comprehensively assess the long-term impact of the Merdeka Curriculum across diverse educational settings. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and educators in refining curriculum strategies to better support teaching and learning processes.

Abstract

The decline in new student enrolment presents a significant challenge to the sustainability of secondary schools, particularly in non-urban areas. This study aims to analyse the principal's managerial leadership strategy in sustaining new student enrolment at SMAN 1 Cisaga, Ciamis Regency. Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving principals, teachers, and parents as participants. The findings identify three consistently implemented strategies: strategic planning involving community collaboration, adaptive and technology-based school promotion programmes, and ongoing evaluation of strategy effectiveness. The principal plays a central role in shaping a positive school image through the development of extracurricular activities, strengthening community engagement, and optimising digital communication platforms. These strategies have been effective in enhancing the school's attractiveness and increasing public trust in the institution. The study concludes that managerial leadership that is inclusive, participatory, and responsive to social dynamics is essential for maintaining enrolment stability. Further research is recommended to include a broader range of schools and external variables to enhance the generalisability of the findings.
