THE DESIGN COMPLEXITY OF TWO ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING CURRICULA IN INDONESIA
Abstract
A pessimistic stigma that claims a new minister introduces a new curriculum, merely a political product, is believed by some people in Indonesia. The last two current curricula, Kurikulum 2013 and Kurikulum Merdeka, cannot avoid the stereotype. This study investigates the designs of the two curricula on their English language learning goals to find the fundamental reasons for curriculum reforms. The design elements were used as the framework. The study finds that these reforms are based on researches aimed at addressing educational challenges rather than being politically motivated. Kurikulum 2013 was designed to improve Indonesian students’s TIMMS and PISA. Kurikulum Merdeka tries to reduce students’ learning burden and make them ready to face disruptive era and society 5.0. The curriculum developers should collaborate in promoting the substance of each design in order to minimize misconception among the society like strengthening the importance of discussions between parents and schools about the new curriculum and its goals.
