Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum is a groundbreaking curriculum from the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia that aims to further empower all educational units and teachers in developing the potential possessed by students in the current advanced era, which requires competent abilities and skills. The objectives of this research are (1) to describe the reflective teaching practices of the Merdeka Curriculum in English at NW Mataram Junior High School, grade 2, and (2) to explore the impact of teacher reflection on English teaching and learning in the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. Using a qualitative case study approach where data is collected from several sources, with the data sources coming from the 8th-grade English teacher, the researcher then conducts direct observations, in-depth interviews with the teacher, and analyzes documents related to the teacher's activities on reflective teaching. This study involves a class and a teacher as participants. Based on the findings (1) English teachers previously used reflective practices to prepare and deliver English teaching to students by assessing previous achievements setting constructive criteria and modifying teaching methods for future success in teaching English. (2) Reflective teaching practices have a significant impact on English teaching and learning, as they can enhance teachers' competencies and teaching quality, optimize students' learning outcomes, and strengthen students' critical and collaborative thinking skills.

Abstract

Writing is vital in English education, particularly for vocational school students who need practical communication abilities. This study explores the teaching and learning of recount text writing under the Merdeka Curriculum at SMKN 1 Bantul, where recount texts are used to enhance students’ narrative and linguistic skills. The research aims to investigate instructional strategies, student engagement, and curriculum implementation challenges in recount writing lessons. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through classroom observations, teacher and student interviews, and document analysis of lesson plans and syllabi. The findings reveal that the teacher employed structured guidance, multimedia resources, and collaborative tasks to facilitate learning. Although students participated actively, many struggled with grammar and vocabulary, which affected their writing proficiency. Instructional media like PowerPoint and videos enhanced understanding, yet individualized feedback and differentiated instruction were limited. Assessment relied primarily on group tasks and observation, lacking personalized evaluation mechanisms. These results suggest that while current strategies align with Merdeka Curriculum principles, improvements are needed in language support, feedback systems, and assessment frameworks. The study implies that integrating interactive, student-centered approaches with targeted grammar instruction and more individualized assessment can enhance the effectiveness of writing instruction in vocational settings. Future research is recommended to compare practices across schools to identify broader trends and best practices in implementing writing pedagogy under the Merdeka Curriculum.
