Historical Learning through Independent Strategies using LMS in the Merdeka Curriculum

Abstract

This study aims to describe the process of learning history using independent learning strategies through the media learning management system in the Merdeka Curriculum. This research was conducted qualitatively by taking the background of research at SMA 1 Ceper and SMA N 1 Cawas. Research data obtained from observations of media implementation, student interviews, documentation, and audiovisual materials are then described descriptively. The research results show that first, students can perform independent learning through MERRDEKA learning activities with synchronous and asynchronous modes. So, learning history using self-learning strategies is appropriate when combined with LMS technology. Broadly speaking, this technology helps students to carry out independent activities such as finding information, processing, and disseminating in digital form. Students with independent behavior can be seen from the ability of students to formulate learning strategies, carry out management, and evaluate their achievements. However, the role of teachers is still needed, especially in providing views to students for problems they cannot solve independently. Both LMS have a role in learning strategies to help implement learning programs with the availability of various learning resources that have been systematically compiled.
