Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of the Merdeka (Independent) Curriculum for English subjects at the Islamic Junior High School (MTs) of Pancasila, Bengkulu, with a focus on assessing its effectiveness and identifying the challenges faced by educators and students. The Merdeka Curriculum, introduced to foster student-centered learning, critical thinking, and creativity, requires significant adaptation in schools with limited resources, diverse student backgrounds, and minimal teacher training. This research employs a mixed-methods approach, including surveys, interviews, and classroom observations, to examine the curriculum’s impact on teaching practices, student engagement, and language proficiency outcomes. The findings reveal that while the Merdeka Curriculum holds potential for enhancing English learning, its implementation faces significant obstacles. Teachers report challenges in aligning instructional methods with the curriculum's objectives due to a lack of professional development and teaching resources. Additionally, students' varied English proficiency levels further complicate curriculum application, necessitating frequent adjustments to lesson plans and assessment techniques. This study concludes that successful implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in English subjects requires increased training, clear guidelines, and better resource allocation to ensure that its goals are achieved effectively. The results contribute to ongoing discussions on curriculum reform in Indonesia, emphasizing the need for tailored support in resource-constrained educational settings.

Abstract

The digital information era has brought a new dimension to the dissemination of knowledge, including religious information. Social media and online platforms have become the main channels for individuals to access and share religious content, but both also provide opportunities for the spread of fake news and misinformation, which have the potential to cause social unrest and distort understanding of religious teachings. This study aims to analyze the challenges of religious literacy in the context of the rise of digital information, especially related to the spread of fake news and misinformation related to religion among junior high school students in Central Bengkulu. Furthermore, this study examines the strategic role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) subjects in developing critical and responsible religious literacy skills among students in the information era. Through a literature review and content analysis approach, this study identifies important religious literacy competencies, such as the ability to verify sources of information, a comprehensive understanding of the context of religious teachings, and increased awareness of the potential for information manipulation. In addition, this study explores how the PAI curriculum and learning methods can be adapted to equip students with the skills to filter information, identify fake news and religious misinformation, and promote peaceful and constructive religious narratives in the digital space. The findings of this study indicate that most students are exposed to too much unverified information, are vulnerable to the spread of fake news and misinformation, have limited digital literacy and critical thinking skills, and may be influenced by filter bubbles. On the other hand, although Islamic Religious Education (PAI) has not achieved optimal results, it has been proven to play an important role in developing students' ability to filter fake news and misinformation.
