Abstract

This study evaluates the role of teacher performance and school environmental support in the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Indonesia. Teachers’ performance, including pedagogical skills, innovation in teaching, and project-based learning management, as well as school environmental support in the form of technological facilities, a conducive work climate, and a collaborative culture, are two main factors in the success of this curriculum. Through a systematic literature review, the findings of this study indicate that adequate facilities and managerial support contribute significantly to teacher motivation and performance effectiveness, which have a positive impact on the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. However, obstacles such as high administrative burdens, unequal access to training, and lack of managerial support still hinder the optimization of teachers’ performance. This study found that the synergy between adequate teacher competence and optimal environmental support can create a more interactive and independent learning experience for students. Thus, the conclusion of this study emphasizes the need for policies that support reducing administrative burdens, increasing access to ongoing training, and providing adequate facilities. These findings are expected to be the basis for developing education policies that are more responsive to the needs of teachers and schools in order to strengthen the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of teacher performance and school environment on the implementation of the Curriculum Merdeka at SMA Negeri 5 Palembang. A quantitative approach with a survey method was employed. The sample consisted of 68 teachers selected purposively. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression. Findings revealed that: (1) teacher performance significantly influences Curriculum Merdeka implementation (p = 0.000 < 0.05) with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.646; (2) school environment significantly influences curriculum implementation (p = 0.000 < 0.05) with R² of 0.586; and (3) simultaneously, both variables significantly affect implementation (p = 0.000 < 0.05) with R² of 0.723, indicating that 72.3% of the variance in curriculum implementation is explained by teacher performance and school environment together. The research provides early empirical validation of key determinants specifically influencing the rollout of Indonesia's new Curriculum Merdeka policy, examining both human and contextual factors within a localized school setting. Schools should prioritize continuous teacher professional development and cultivate supportive physical and psychosocial environments to ensure effective curriculum implementation aligned with policy objectives. The study contributes evidence-based insights to educational policy discourse, demonstrating that successful curriculum reform requires simultaneous investment in teacher quality and conducive institutional conditions.
