Abstract

The independent learning curriculum issued by the Ministry of Education and Culture has brought changes to the national education system. At the beginning of the policy or termed the first period, there were four policies that started it, namely the elimination of the national exam and replacing it with a minimum competency assessment and a character survey with literacy and anumeration. The national school-based exam (USBN) was replaced with a school exam held by each school. Simplification of the Lesson Implementation Plan (RPP) with the aim of reducing the teacher's administrative burden. The RPP made by the teacher only includes 3 components, namely learning objectives, learning activities and evaluation. The zoning system is enforced, the zoning pathway PPDB can accept a minimum of 50 percent students, the affirmation pathway at least 15 percent, and the displacement pathway a maximum of 5 percent. The independent learning curriculum as a new paradigm in education is oriented towards the profile of Pancasila students who are the target in directing the implementation and assessment of policies. Although there are many criticisms of the Free Learning policy, there are also many educational practitioners who say the realization of the independent learning curriculum is be a breath of fresh air for teachers and students who want changes to the learning system that are emancipatory in nature and develop student competencies, especially in the context of the globalization era and the industrial revolution era 4.0 towards society 5.0
