Basic education in Indonesia provides nine years learning experience in both formal and non-formal education for 7-15 school age children.

Indonesian Basic Education: Current Content and Reform

2 6. Traditionally the MONE played a central role of curriculum development in Indonesia. Schools (teachers) involvement played only small operational portion of the role. The teachers were supposed to go along with all instructions neatly prepared guidance of curriculum implementation by the MONE. The main task specified to teachers in curriculum planning was to merely prepare lesson plan of a subject based on implementation and technical instruction. The old curriculum is subject (materials) and teacher oriented regardless learners potential, development stage, needs, interest, and environment. 7. Since 2006 (in decentralization era) Indonesia has been implementing competency base school level curriculum based on national standard of education (content and competence standards in particular) considering the goal of a certain level of education, learning experiences that should be provided to achieve the goal, the methods used to manage the learning experiences, and methods of evaluation to measure the goal achievement. The new curriculum is learners and competency oriented and implemented by paying attention to learners potential, development stage, needs, interest, and environment. 8. The new policy on curriculum, among other things, is intended to empower teachers to develop down to earth learning activities relevant to the learners need, actual condition of the school, as well as the necessity to link it to the environment. Central Government provides guidance in developing competency base school level curriculum. The Curriculum Center at the Office of Educational Research and Development of the MONE helps the schools develop their own curriculum by providing curriculum models that can be implemented at school level. Training centers of the MONE have been conducting training sessions for school principals and teachers in developing competency base school level curriculum. Legal Framework of School Curriculum 1. The National Education System Act (No 20/2003) provides legal framework of curriculum implemented in Indonesia. The Minister of National Education decrees No 22 and 23/2006 establish the content standard and graduate competences standard in developing curriculum. The standards are established by the Office of National Standard of Education. 2. The Act defines curriculum as a set of plan with regard to the objectives, content, and learning materials as well as the methods employed as guideline in conducting learning activities in order to achieve the goal of a certain education. 3. The curriculum of primary (basic) and secondary education must include religious education, citizenship, languages, mathematics, natural science, social science, art and culture, physical education and sport, skills/vocational education, and local content. The curriculum is basically developed based on diversified principles related to educational unit, regional potential, and the learners. 4.

Focused on learners potential, development, needs, and interest; and their environment Curriculum is developed based on the principle that learners have their own unique potential to develop their competence to become religiously devoted, bright, competitive, and responsible citizens. It is, therefore, the development of this potential is done based on the learners potentials and develomental needs. The learners are supposed to be the central attention of learning activities (learners oriented curriculum). 2. Varied and integrated Curriculum is developed by keeping in mind the diversity of learners characteristic, geography condition, level and type of education, as well as appreciating differences in religion, ethnics, culture, tradition, socio-economics status, and gender. Curriculum must contain required subjects, local content, and integrated self development and is developed in a meaningful and right intersubjects integration. 3. Responsive to the development of science, knowledge, technology, and art Curriculum is developed based on awareness that science, knowledge, technology, and art is developing dynamically. Therefore, the curriculum spirit and content are required to provide learners with learning experience that enable them to keep up with and utilize science, knowledge, technology, and art development. 4. Relevant to the need of life Curriculum is developed by involving the stakeholders to ensure its relevance to the needs of life which include social life, business, and employment. It is, therefore, educational institutions have to include the development of personal, thinking, social, academic, and vocational skills. 5.

It means, therefore, that the same subject may be presented at different level, but with diverse depth and scope. Indonesian Basic Education: Current Content and Reform 6

The curricullum reflects the interrelation of formal, non-formal, and informal education by paying attention to the ever changing environment condition and demand. 7. Balancing national and regional interests Curriculum is developed by paying attention to the national and regional interest in order to develop a well balanced life in community, nation, and state. National and regional interests must be kept in balance on a par with the motto of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia: unity through diversity. Principles of Curriculum Implementation 1. Curriculum implementation is based on the learners potential, development, and condition to master useful competency. Learners must have quality educational services and opportunity to freely, dynamically, and comfortably express themselves. 2. Curriculum is implemented by maintaining five learning pillars: (a) learning to be faithful and devoted to God, (b) learning to understand and fully comprehend, (c) learning to be able to perform effectively, (d) learning to live with and be useful for other people, and (e) learning to identify and develop own identity through active, creative, and contented learning process. 3. Curriculum implementation enables learners to have remedial, enriched, and/or accelerated educational program on a par with learners potential, developmental stage, and condition by paying attention to learners integrated personal development containing spirituality, individuality, community, and morality. 4. Curriculum is implemented in situations where there are mutually respectful, close, open, and warm relationship between learners and educators by keeping in mind the principles of good modeling, motivating, and empowering. 5. Curriculum is implemented by employing multi-strategy and multi-media approach, sufficient learning and technology sources, and by utilizing immediate environment as learning source. 6. Curriculum is implemented by utilizing natural, socio-cultural, and regional sources for successful educational programs containing useful subjects in optimal learning process. 7. Curriculum consisting of all components of subjects competency, local content, and self development is managed in appropriate and sufficient balance, interrelation, and continuity between grade, type, and level of education. Closing Remark 1. The world is changing and so is educational endeavor to empower individuals to develop their potentials to live responsible and healthy life so as to be able to perform independently and cooperatively and help each other in harmony. Indonesian Basic Education: Current Content and Reform 7

8 2. Curriculum serves as the substance that gives the soul to learning process. Curriculum should be primarily based on the consideration of promoting learners interest in identifying and developing their full potential. 3. Nationally established curriculum in Indonesia has experienced several changes. The new curriculum has been implemented nationally since The so called competency base school level curriculum is developed based on content and competency standards. It is in line with the implementation of educational policy regarding school base management. 4. The successful implementation of the new policy on curriculum depends on the readiness of all parties involved in learning process at operational level, especially the teachers. 5. Central government (Ministry of National Education) has been conducting various programs to assist schools in developing, implementing, and evaluating their own curriculum by taking advantage of advanced information and communication technology. 6. It is necessary to conduct evaluation research in order to see the effectiveness of the new curriculum related to the learners achievement measured through multidimensional approach.
