Assessment, Competence, Curriculum Implementation, Education Reform, Independent LearningAbstract
The implementation of the Independent Learning Curriculum (Kurikulum Merdeka) represents a significant transformation in Indonesia’s education system, aiming to enhance students' essential competencies, particularly in literacy and numeracy. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the curriculum in improving these competencies among elementary and secondary school students. Using a mixed-methods approach, both quantitative assessments and qualitative interviews were conducted to measure student performance and gather perceptions from educators, students, and policymakers. The findings indicate that the Independent Learning Curriculum fosters greater student engagement, critical thinking, and personalized learning experiences, contributing positively to literacy and numeracy development. However, challenges remain in terms of teacher preparedness, resource availability, and consistent implementation across diverse educational settings. This evaluation underscores the importance of continuous professional development, curriculum support, and collaborative efforts among stakeholders to optimize the curriculum's impact on student learning outcomes. The study provides valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and educational institutions striving to improve foundational competencies in Indonesia’s rapidly evolving educational landscape
