<![CDATA[Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perkembangan Kurikulum Merdeka di Sekolah Dasar (SD) dalam menghadapi tantangan globalisasi, dengan menyoroti prinsip, implementasi, dan relevansinya terhadap kebutuhan pendidikan abad ke-21. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan studi kepustakaan (library research) yang dianalisis melalui analisis isi (content analysis) terhadap berbagai sumber literatur seperti jurnal ilmiah, buku, laporan kebijakan, dan artikel penelitian terkini yang relevan dengan topik Kurikulum Merdeka dan globalisasi pendidikan. Data dianalisis menggunakan model analisis interaktif Miles dan Huberman, melalui tahap reduksi data, penyajian data, serta penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa Kurikulum Merdeka hadir sebagai inovasi kurikulum yang fleksibel, berpusat pada peserta didik, dan berbasis pada penguatan profil pelajar Pancasila. Kurikulum ini memberikan otonomi lebih luas kepada satuan pendidikan dan guru dalam merancang pembelajaran sesuai konteks lokal dan kebutuhan peserta didik. Dalam konteks globalisasi, Kurikulum Merdeka berfungsi sebagai strategi nasional untuk meningkatkan kompetensi literasi, numerasi, berpikir kritis, kreativitas, dan karakter adaptif siswa terhadap perubahan global. Namun, implementasi di lapangan masih menghadapi kendala seperti disparitas sumber daya sekolah, kesiapan guru, dan keterbatasan fasilitas digital. Secara praktis, penelitian ini merekomendasikan perlunya penguatan kompetensi guru, digitalisasi sumber belajar, serta sinergi antara pemerintah, sekolah, dan masyarakat dalam mendukung implementasi Kurikulum Merdeka secara berkelanjutan. Temuan ini diharapkan dapat menjadi dasar bagi pengambil kebijakan pendidikan dalam menyusun strategi peningkatan mutu pembelajaran dasar yang relevan dengan dinamika global. This study aims to analyze the development of the Merdeka Curriculum in primary schools in responding to the challenges of globalization, with an emphasis on its principles, implementation, and relevance to the needs of 21st-century education. The study employs a library research approach, analyzed through content analysis of various literature sources such as scholarly journals, books, policy reports, and recent research articles relevant to the topics of the Merdeka Curriculum and educational globalization. Data were analyzed using the interactive analysis model of Miles and Huberman, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results of the review indicate that the Merdeka Curriculum emerges as an innovative curriculum that is flexible, learner-centered, and based on strengthening the Pancasila Student Profile. This curriculum provides greater autonomy for educational institutions and teachers to design learning that aligns with local contexts and students’ needs. In the context of globalization, the Merdeka Curriculum functions as a national strategy to enhance students’ literacy, numeracy, critical thinking, creativity, and adaptive character in facing global changes. However, its implementation in practice still encounters challenges such as disparities in school resources, teacher readiness, and limitations in digital facilities. Practically, this study recommends strengthening teachers’ competencies, digitalizing learning resources, and fostering synergy among the government, schools, and communities to ensure the sustainable implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. These findings are expected to serve as a foundation for education policymakers in formulating strategies to improve the quality of primary education that aligns with global dynamics.]]>
