Abstract

The curriculum is an important guideline in the learning process, especially the Independent Curriculum is a curriculum designed to recover post-pandemic learning. This study aims to determine the implementation of the independent curriculum in elementary schools in Indonesia and Indonesian schools abroad which includes planning, implementation, and constraints and strategies. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a comparative approach. Data were collected using interviews, observations, document analysis, and literature studies. The data were analyzed using an interactive model of Miles & Huberman. The results of the study show that planning the implementation of the independent curriculum involves the preparation of learning tools such as learning outcomes (CP), learning objectives (TP), learning objectives (ATP), and teaching modules, as well as holding training, workshops, and In House Training (IHT) to improve teacher competence. The implementation of the curriculum in Indonesia has been running comprehensively since the 2023/2024 school year, while abroad it will start in 2022. The main obstacles include lack of teacher knowledge and training, teacher readiness, school support, and student diversity, as well as the lack of human resources and access to information abroad. To overcome these obstacles, ongoing training for teachers and adequate facilities and infrastructure are needed, along with innovative strategies such as the use of technology in learning.
