Implementation of the Independent Curriculum in Arabic Language Learning in Madrasahs: A Phenomenological Study at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri Pangkep

Wahyudin Hafid, Akhmad Bazith, Ilyas Thahir

Abstract


The implementation of the "Merdeka Curriculum" (Independent Curriculum) in Arabic language learning at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri Pangkep aims to foster student-centred learning, promote autonomy, and align education with the needs of 21st-century skills. This study examines how the Merdeka Curriculum is applied in Arabic language instruction, focusing on planning, methods, and evaluation processes. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and document analysis at selected Madrasahs. The findings reveal that the curriculum emphasises flexibility in lesson design, integrating Arabic with religious and cultural contexts, and using diverse teaching strategies, such as project-based learning and thematic approaches. Teachers must develop materials that suit students' interests and abilities while maintaining the curriculum's core competencies. However, limited resources and teacher readiness still hinder optimal implementation. This study highlights the importance of training and support systems to enhance the effectiveness of the Merdeka Curriculum in Arabic language education.
