Kampus Pemimpin Merdeka (MOE) back to hold the Merdeka Curriculum Festival on Tuesday (23/01) online and attended 596 participant. This activity was held to answer the concerns of many teachers regarding the implementation of the Independent Curriculum. The teacher often follows training but only gets theoretical material so it is difficult to imagine its implementation. This makes them confused about whether what they do in class is in accordance with the essence of the Independent Curriculum. Therefore, twenty teachers who are alumni of the Curriculum Ready program share good learning and leadership practices. They come from different teaching levels and regions. Two of them are Murtiningsih, Al Muslim Kindergarten teacher Waru Sidoarjo, East Java, and Hotdiana Nababan, State High School teacher 2 Northern region, Labuhanbatu, North Sumatra.

This is what encourages Murtiningsih to always invite his students to be involved in learning as a whole even though they are still in kindergarten. One of his experiences was when implementing project-based learning. Murtiningsih started by giving several trigger questions to the students. The questions asked invite students to pay attention to the school environment. Various comments appeared and most of them said the same thing, namely about the school yard being dirty. At that time, The condition of the Al Muslim Kindergarten yard is that there are lots of dry leaves scattered around. “I keep asking questions to get children to think. Like, What can we do with this leaf waste?? The child's chatter was beyond my expectations, very varied. Some say it's possible to learn, made a hat, Some say their parents once told them that the leaves could be used as fertilizer,” said Murtiningsih. Then he invited students to watch a video with the theme of earth and waste. After that, give the task to discuss further with the parents at home. When we return to school, students make mind map ideas for utilizing dry leaf waste. There are some students who cannot write yet, then Murtiningsih will help him. "Children's actions are varied and they are all the result of their own ideas, not because of orders from me or his parents. Their ideas after joint discussion. There are those who carry out environmental cleanliness campaigns, make compost and then sell the fertilizer to teachers and parents, and others, all kinds of things,he explained. Build student characters with meaningful feedback while Hotdiana, telling stories about their experiences provides meaningful feedback that can build students' good character. Previously, he is worried because students like to cheat. He tried to trace why student actions like this continued to occur, even though students have often been reprimanded. “It turns out that students' orientation is still on grades. To achieve high scores, Students will justify various methods, including copying his friend's assignments. This is also because the previous assessment culture was value oriented,” he said. The feedback given is in the form of what is good about the student's work and what parts can be improved. However, Change certainly doesn't happen immediately. Initially, students still don't care and mostly ignore the feedback given.

Next, students are asked questions, "Is there anything that is not understood and wants to be asked from the feedback?"Continue to convey to students that value is not everything, but rather increase competence at the end of the semester, students will get a certificate. The certificate is related to changes in a student's attitude and character during one semester, not academic achievement. Slowly, there is a change in Hotdiana's student. Students are getting used to reading feedback and responding to it. Some even wait for feedback when submitting assignments. “Emotionally it also became close to me. Then students become more independent, aka they don't cheat because they already know, oh I'm missing here, so whatever needs to be done. Although yes, there are still people who cheat, but reduced. The important thing is that I am consistent because students' character and culture need time to change,” concluded Hotdiana. (Yosi)

The Merdeka Leaders Campus held the Merdeka Curriculum Ready Festival on Friday (17/11) afternoon online. The festival aims to expand the good practices of Curriculum Ready program participants, such as the application of profile projects, differentiated learning, and the use of teaching media. From 324 batch participants 1-4, selected 12 teachers from various regions who have the opportunity to share their good practices. Among them is Alia Yovica, State junior high school teacher 29 Sijunjung, and Dewi Handayani, State elementary school teacher 13 Sanggau. Profile Project “Stop Bullying”, Increase Student Empathy In previous projects, Alia and her fellow teachers still misunderstand the application of the profile project. The profile project that Alia held three months earlier still required students to produce a product. This has an impact on students, many say they are bored. After following the Curriculum Ready program, Alia just found out the main purpose of the profile project, namely making students part of the problem solver for the problems around them. From that understanding, the result of the project is a product, not an obligation. "We, the coordinator and facilitator sit together first. We agree on the flow of activities, namely the introductory stage, contextualization, action, reflection, and follow-up. According to what we learned in the Curriculum Ready program,"explained Alia. They agreed, P5 learning every Tuesday to Saturday, every day 2 lesson hours. The first activity is to provide project outreach to students so that they understand why students need to do the project. For ten weeks, the activities carried out are, bullying video analysis, shed light on the forms of bullying that have been accepted, convey what you like and what you don't like in friendship, collaborate with social parties and the police to deepen knowledge, anti-bullying campaign at school, and finally creating a drama script. “In our activities we often give people the freedom to choose according to their interests. For example, when creating and performing a drama script, students have the freedom to choose whether the play is about verbal bullying, physique, or relational,said Alia. In the last session, Alia invited students to reflect on what they had learned and what they wanted to improve. Students stated that learning was fun because of the variety of activities. They also said that they became more aware of what actions were considered bullying and were determined to love their friends more. Collaboration between Mapel to Introduce Sanggau Culture Meanwhile, Dewi shared her experience of combining social studies and Indonesian subjects to introduce Sanggau culture. At that time, The social studies material being discussed is about the culture of ASEAN countries. Meanwhile in Indonesian language lessons, Students are expected to have the competence to present conclusions verbally and in writing from the results of observations and interviews. After inviting students to discuss, Dewi invited students to watch various Sanggau regional dances. The reason, from the results of the discussion, Many people don't know anything about the regional arts and culture in West Kalimantan. “Only after that did I take them to Dekranasda, Regional National Crafts Council, then to the house of a Sanggau typical Kangkang embroidery craftsman. Students prepare questions for conducting interviews,"explained Dewi. From the results of the interview, the student concluded, The best-selling souvenirs are key chains. They also agreed that they wanted to make a typical Sanggau key chain to be entrusted to Dekranasda. Students discuss what kind of key chain they want to make. Dewi helped by showing videos of typical Sanggau handicrafts. Students agreed to choose key chains made from leaves, some are dried banana leaves, fern leaves, jackfruit leaves, and rambutan leaves. “We then went to the grocery store together. Students learn to communicate with sellers. Each student gets a role, for example, someone is in charge of recording production, count material items, and others,explained the class teacher 6 That. Dewi revealed, This learning makes students more enthusiastic about going to school. Students also learn to give and develop ideas. Besides that, students become more sensitive, help each other. "I also appreciate it when after they finish they clean and tidy up the equipment themselves without any orders from me,” concluded Dewi. (Yosi)
