Abstract

This study aims to determine the implementation of the independent curriculum held in elementary schools and the obstacles or problems that occur along with the implementation of this curriculum. The research was conducted with a qualitative approach with a literature study method, namely taking several references and reviewing research results to obtain understanding and data results related to the problems experienced. The result of this study is that the principal has a major influence on the management system policies implemented in schools, especially in the implementation of the independent curriculum. In addition, teachers as educators are the most important element of implementing learning with an independent curriculum because teachers are required to be innovative in managing learning by utilizing technology. In the implementation of this independent curriculum, there are several obstacles, including that teachers do not fully understand policy changes in the preparation of all learning tools, besides that teachers still lack mastery of information and communication technology in the use of learning management, training and seminars provided regarding the Free Learning Curriculum (Kurikulum Merdeka Belajar), especially at the elementary school level, are less effective due to the demands of working hours from the teachers themselves, and there are still teachers who are less innovative in actualizing strategies or learning methods of learning activities.
