Implementasi Kurikulum Merdeka Belajar Pada Mata Pelajaran Akidah Akhlak Di MIN 1 Yogyakarta

Abstract

This research aims to explain how the "Merdeka Belajar" curriculum is implemented in the Akidah Akhlak (Faith and Morality) lessons at MIN 1 Yogyakarta. The research method used is qualitative descriptive, utilizing observation and interviews. The data analysis consists of three stages, the first being data reduction, which involves the correction and description of interview results. This research was conducted at MIN 1 Yogyakarta in the fourth grade, with the research subjects focusing on Akidah Akhlak teachers. The results of the research show that MIN 1 Yogyakarta plays a role in the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in the Sleman DIY district. One of the methods applied in the Merdeka Curriculum teaching process is project-based learning, known as Problem-Based Learning (PBL). This method aims to enhance students' critical thinking skills, stimulate their initiative in the learning process, and promote interpersonal development within groups. However, in the Akidah Akhlak lessons, the materials still use the K-13 curriculum because there is no direct issuance of Merdeka curriculum books from the Ministry of Religion. As a result, the Merdeka curriculum books only focus on general materials.
