Independent Learning Curriculum: How Is Teachers’ Readiness In Implementing It?

Abstract

Education must be dynamic and able to adapt in order to keep up with the changes brought on by the advancement of science, as it is constantly evolving and being updated. The purpose of this study is to examine the readiness of teachers to implement the independent learning curriculum and the limitations they encounter during the school learning process. This study describes a story based on the experiences of participants in SMK Kesehatan Imelda (Imelda Health-based Vocational High School), SMK Pemda (Local Government Vocational High School) in Labuhabatu regency and SMA Negeri 1 Aek Natas (State Senior High School) in North Labuhanbatu Regency. The results showed SMK Kesehatan Imelda and SMK Pemda have not implemented the independent learning curriculum. SMA Negeri 1 Aek Natas has conducted on class X with by providing project-based learning and strengthening the Pancasila profile by providing material for 3 hours divided into 1 week. There is still a lack of socialization by the government regarding the implementation of the independent learning curriculum, causing many teachers to be confused about its implementation in schools, beginning with the preparation of lesson plans and extending to the implementation of project-based learning methods.
