Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Merdeka Belajar curriculum in elementary schools and its impact on the quality of learning. The case study was conducted in two elementary schools in the area that implemented the Merdeka Belajar curriculum for one school year. The research method used is qualitative with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The collected data is analyzed using descriptive analysis. The results showed that the implementation of the Merdeka Belajar curriculum in both elementary schools has improved the quality of learning through increased student involvement in the learning process and the development of 21st century skills competencies. The positive impact is also seen in increasing teacher creativity and innovation in presenting learning materials. However, challenges in the implementation of the Merdeka Belajar curriculum can be seen in the lack of support and training for teachers and the lack of supporting resources. Thus, it is recommended that the government provide greater support in the implementation of the Merdeka Belajar curriculum in elementary schools and increase training and supporting resources for teachers to maximize the positive impact of the Merdeka Belajar curriculum in improving the quality of learning.
