Teacher's Role, Independent Curriculum, Learning in Elementary Schools

Abstrak

This study aims to understand the role of teachers in implementing the Independent Curriculum in elementary schools. The Independent Curriculum is a new curriculum introduced by the Ministry of Education, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbudristek) to improve the quality of education in Indonesia. The results of the study indicate that teachers play an active role in implementing the Independent Curriculum by developing students' competencies and utilizing project-based learning methods. Teachers also enhance students' critical thinking, communication, and collaboration skills. However, teachers face challenges in implementing the Independent Curriculum, such as limited resources and their own teaching capabilities. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve teachers' competencies and provide adequate resources to support the implementation of the Independent Curriculum. This study is expected to contribute to curriculum development and learning in elementary schools, as well as improve the quality of education in Indonesia.
