Abstract

Ummi Hidayati (20551071): Understanding The Merdeka Curriculum: Perspective From Pre-Service Teachers This study investigates pre-service teachers' understanding of the Independent Curriculum (Kurikulum Merdeka) in English language instruction at SMPN 1 Rejang Lebong. Employing a descriptive research method, data were collected through questionnaires and interviews, followed by data reduction, verification, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that pre-service teachers possess a solid comprehension of the Independent Curriculum, with a high percentage demonstrating a thorough understanding of its implementation. Specifically, in the cognitive domain, the majority of respondents show a clear grasp of the curriculum's objectives, with a significant portion categorized as having a 'good' understanding. Additionally, all teachers exhibit strong familiarity with the teaching tools associated with the Merdeka English Curriculum. Proficiency in the teaching process within the Independent Curriculum is evidenced by a notable percentage of teachers falling into the 'very good' category. However, several challenges were identified during the implementation phase, including difficulties in designing instructional modules, classroom management issues, insufficient knowledge of the Merdeka Curriculum, preparation problems before teaching sessions, and inadequate IT facilities and literacy. In conclusion, pre-service teachers, based on their perceptions, exhibit a commendable understanding of the Independent Curriculum’s objectives, teaching tools, and instructional processes in English language teaching.
