Case : A group of pre-service teachers (5 persons) had been teaching for four months at a
vocational high school with B accreditation. They recognised the students’ characters and were
familiar with teachers and school environment. They also practiced the newly released curriculum,
Kurikulum Merdeka, and were intensely assisted by a supervisor whose knowledge and skills
were excellent at the new curriculum. After four months, these pre-service students were
relocated from vocational school to public school. The new school had a different curriculum and
students’ capability. K-13 was still being implemented in the school, which is the older version of
the new curriculum. The students had higher achievement in terms of English language learning.
Moreover, the school authorities were not as friendly as the older school.

from Kurikulum Merdeka to K- Design about Kurikulum Merdeka and they
13. are expected to apply what they
have learned when they do the first
teaching practice. But in case, since
the group moved to public school
the pre-service teacher needs to
combine Kurikulum Merdeka with
Kurikulum 2013, because sooner or
later this school will adapt the
Kurikulum Merdeka in next
academic years. Therefore,
teachers could design the lesson
plan by combining the learning
objectives (Kompetensi Dasar) and
stick to the format of ‘Modul Ajar’ to
craft the instructional design. In
terms of the assessment, teacher
also can abide by the principle of
integrated assessment rather than
going back to the previous
curriculum which separates the
domain of cognitive, affective, and
pyschomotoric.

carefully crafted with specific.

4. The teachers are faced with the


4. Content and delivery habit of using Kurikulum Merdeka

to older versions of Kurikulum. This
situation is worsened by the
demand of the pre-service
teachers task in which all learning
materials in the LMS should be
completed using the new
Kurikulum. The pre-service
teachers can adapt by
communicating with Guru Pamong
that the completion of tasks in the
LMS should be the priority. Thus,
the learning objectives and
contents are aligned based on the
Kurikulum 2013 but the content
delivery and format of the lesson
plan are based on the new
curriculum, Kurikulum Merdeka.
Issue 2: Students’ 1. Realigned the Teachers are faced with students with
achievement from low previous teaching different levels and most of them are
English proficiency to a style and curriculum inclined towards high performance. In
