Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum, introduced to replace the 2013 Curriculum, aims to improve educational quality in Indonesia. This systematic literature review explores teachers perspectives on the Merdeka Curriculum, focusing on the advantages and difficulties of its implementation. The findings show that while teachers hold a generally positive view of the curriculum, recognizing its potential to enhance learning outcomes, they face significant challenges in areas such as planning, executing lessons, and assessments. Teacher readiness is often deemed only sufficient, highlighting the need for further training to improve understanding and implementation skills. Despite these obstacles, the curriculum offers benefits, particularly in fostering student-centered learning and providing teachers with greater autonomy in designing educational activities. The study concludes that while the Merdeka Curriculum holds promise, its successful implementation requires addressing teacher preparedness and resource gaps.

Abstract

This research determined the relationship between texting habits and spelling competency among second-year BSEd English major students. The study employed a quantitative research design to gather data. The researchers created a questionnaire specifically related to texting habits and an adapted Civil Service questionnaire to measure spelling competency. Results showed that students exhibited a high frequency of texting, but displayed below-average spelling competencies. For future research, it is recommended to use a combined quantitative and qualitative design to gain deeper insights into students' opinions, attitudes, and practices regarding texting and spelling. Additionally, future studies should consider including participants from various other courses, not just English majors, to broaden the scope of the research.

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to explore the six dimensions of the Pancasila Student Profile contained in the film entitled “Jembatan Pensil” by Hasto Broto. The method of the research is discourse analysis, which refers to converting spoken language into written language, transcribing data, and presenting the results. Then, the results show that this film is appropriate and suitable to be used as learning media for the audience, especially for young learners. Furthermore, it is expected that the Pancasila Student Profiles can be applied in students' everyday lives both at school and outside school. In this study, researchers conclude that the Jembatan Pensil film is a medium that can be taken into consideration as a learning medium in the form of literature as another means of implementing the Pancasila Student Profile while utilizing technological developments and becoming an increasingly varied learning strategy.
