Abstract

The Independent Curriculum aims to provide greater learning flexibility by accommodating students’ individual needs and potential. However, its implementation often poses challenges for teachers, particularly in adapting pedagogical practices to the demands of the curriculum. This study analyzes the difficulties economics teachers face in implementing the Independent Curriculum within the Jember Regency Economics MGMP forum. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Four informants were selected, consisting of the MGMP Chair, the Deputy Chair of the Development Division, and two economics teachers. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed through data collection, validation, presentation, and conclusion drawing. Triangulation was used to ensure data validity. Findings show that teachers experience several obstacles, including limited understanding of differentiated instruction, difficulties adapting learning materials, challenges developing appropriate assessment methods and curriculum-aligned learning tools, constraints on integrating the Pancasila Student Profile into project-based themes, and suboptimal use of the Merdeka Teaching Platform. These challenges reflect gaps in curriculum readiness, teacher competency development, and institutional support. Strengthening continuous professional development, intensive mentoring, and school-level facilitation is essential to improve curriculum implementation.

Abstract

This study aims to develop mobile learning-based educational media, specifically on the topic of needs within the subject of Social Sciences (IPS) at SMP Negeri 8 Jember. By utilizing advancements in information and communication technology, this research adopts the ADDIE development model, which consists of five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The results indicate that the developed mobile learning application, named "Social Science Learning Mobile," significantly enhances student engagement and participation in the learning process. Validation by experts shows that this application has a feasibility level of 91%, categorizing it as highly suitable for use. Through the development of this media, it is expected that students will become more motivated, active, and engaged in the learning process, making their learning experience more enjoyable and effective. However, improvements in content and interactive features are still needed to enhance the application's quality. Thus, it is hoped that this application will provide a more engaging and relevant learning experience for students in today's digital era.
