The Merdeka curriculum aims for students to be virtuous, competent and contributive according to their field. This research uses the library research method. The research library used in this research can be books, articles and journals. This research aims to analyze the thevelopment of the education curriculum in Indonesia, especially the development of the curriculum in learning citizenship education (pkn) from the implementation of the 1984 curriculum to the implementation of the Merdeka curriculum.
