Memperkasa warga Indonesia menerusi kurikulum pendidikan baru: Kajian persepsi guru terhadap perlaksanaan Kurikulum 2013 di Aceh Jaya (Empowering future Indonesian citizens through reformed school curriculum: A teacher perception study of Curriculum 2013 in Aceh Jaya)

Abstract

Kemampuan pedagogi guru dapat mempengaruhi kemampuan pelajar dalam mengikuti proses pembelajaran dengan baik. Kurikulum 2013 bertujuan untuk mempersiapkan warga Indonesia agar mempunyai kemampuan hidup sebagai peribadi dan warga negara yang beriman, produktif, kreatif dan afektif serta mampu berkontribusi pada kehidupan bermasyarakat, berbangsa dan bernegara. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenalpasti persepsi guru terhadap pelaksanaan Kurikulum 2013 pada Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan (SMK) di Aceh Jaya. Kajian ini merupakan kajian kuantitatif yang menggunakan instrumen soal selidik untuk mendapatkan persepsi 30 guru yang disampel secara rawak mudah berdasarkan faktor bahan kurikulum, kesediaan guru, kesediaan pelajar, kemudahan dan sokongan. Data dianalisis menggunakan Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 21.0 dan ditampilkan dalam peratusan dan min dan melibatkan skala Likert 4 mata. Hasil kajian mendapati guru-guru bersetuju bahawa faktor kesediaan guru (min= 2.81), faktor kesediaan pelajar (min= 3.79) dan faktor sokongan yang diterima (min= 2.66) telah menunjukkan persediaan bagi melaksanakan kurikulum 2013. Berkenaan kemampuan pelajar mengikut pembelajaran juga didapati perbezaan persepsi yang signifikan antara guru vokasional dengan guru bukan vokasional dengan nilai p= 0.04. Persepsi guru vokasional ialah pelajar dapat mengikuti dan memahami proses pembelajaran dengan baik sementara persepsi guru bukan vokasional pula adalah sebaliknya. Kajian lanjutan perlu dijalankan untuk mengenalpasti hubungan di antara kemampuan pedagogi guru dengan kesediaan pelajar.

The pedagogical ability of teachers may influence and enhance students’ learning process. The goal of Kurikulum 2013 is to empower Indonesian citizens so they can become capable, faithful, productive, creative and effective individuals who are an asset to their nation. This study examines the perceptions of teachers regarding the implementation of Curriculum 2013 at Vocational High School (SMK) in Aceh Jaya. This quantitative study utilized questionnaires to gauge the perceptions of 30 randomly sampled teachers with respect to the implementation of curriculum 2013 based on curriculum materials, teacher preparation, student readiness, and support facilities. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 21.0 and presented in percentages and means, and using the four-point Likert Scale. The study found that teachers agreed that the teacher preparation (mean= 2.81), students readiness (mean = 3.79) and the support received (mean= 2.66) were adequate to implement curriculum 2013. Regarding the learning ability of students, it was found that significant differences existed between the perceptions of vocational teachers and those of non-vocational teachers with a value of p = 0.04. The vocational teachers perceived that the students were able to follow and understand the lessons well while the non-vocational teachers perceived otherwise. Further studies should be carried out in detail to identify the relationship between teachers’pedagogy ability and students’ readiness.
