Abstract

This study examines the role of the philosophical foundation of education in the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in order to develop superior human resources in the era of Society 5.0. The background of this study is based on the need for an education system that not only focuses on cognitive achievement but also emphasizes character development and adaptability in the digital era. This research uses a qualitative method with a literature review approach by analyzing relevant scientific articles, books, and previous studies related to educational philosophy and curriculum implementation. The results show that philosophical foundations such as Pancasila, humanism, and progressivism play an important role in shaping the direction of the Merdeka Curriculum. The curriculum emphasizes student-centered learning, character strengthening through the Pancasila Student Profile, and the integration of technology in the learning process. In conclusion, the Merdeka Curriculum is able to support the development of superior, independent, and adaptive human resources who are prepared to face the challenges of Society 5.0.
