Komponen-komponen pengembangan kurikulum (Dr. Laksmi Dewi, M.Pd.)

Summary

In this educational video on curriculum development, the speaker explains the four key components involved: objectives, content, strategies, and evaluation. The video outlines how these components are interlinked in the educational process, starting from macro goals like national education aims down to specific, operational objectives like learning indicators. It emphasizes the importance of aligning content and strategies to achieve educational goals and how continuous evaluation ensures the curriculum remains effective. The speaker encourages further exploration of curriculum development through various resources, helping viewers understand how these elements work together to shape successful educational systems.

Takeaways

• 😀 The curriculum development process involves four key components: objectives, content, strategies, and evaluation.
• 😀 Curriculum objectives should align with national education goals, starting from the constitutional mandate to institutional and instructional goals.
• 😀 The component of content refers to the knowledge and subjects provided to students, which must be organized from simpler to more complex concepts.
• 😀 Teaching strategies or processes must be designed at both macro and micro levels, considering the overall educational system and specific classroom contexts.
• 😀 Evaluation in curriculum development is ongoing, assessing the effectiveness of the curriculum at various stages, from planning to implementation.
• 😀 The four components of the curriculum must work together cohesively, much like the functions of a body where each part affects the others.
• 😀 Curriculum evaluation includes assessing planning, processes, and outcomes, such as the impact of the curriculum on student achievement.
• 😀 Macro-level evaluation examines large-scale educational outcomes, while micro-level evaluation focuses on individual classroom performance and instructional practices.
• 😀 The curriculum is a cycle that evolves continuously, with each cycle improving upon the last based on evaluation results.
• 😀 The effectiveness of the curriculum can be measured through feedback loops, which help identify areas for improvement or the need for new approaches.

Q & A

What are the four main components of curriculum development?

The four main components of curriculum development are: 1) Goals, 2) Content or materials, 3) Strategies or processes for curriculum delivery, and 4) Evaluation.

How is the hierarchy of educational goals structured?

The hierarchy of educational goals starts with the 1945 Constitution, which leads to the National Education Goals, then to Institutional Goals (Standards for Graduate Competencies), followed by Instructional Goals (Core Competencies), and finally, Specific Instructional Indicators.

What is the role of the goals component in curriculum development?

The goals component focuses on the desired outcomes or results that the education system aims to achieve, from macro-level national goals to micro-level, specific learning objectives and competencies.

What are some examples of subject matter or content in curriculum development?

Examples of subject matter include subjects like Mathematics, English, Bahasa Indonesia, and Natural Sciences (IPA), among others. These subjects are carefully selected and organized from easy to more complex content.

How is the content or material component organized in the curriculum?

Content is categorized into different types of knowledge such as theoretical concepts, procedures, principles, and other elements, which are presented to students based on their educational level and the difficulty progression.

What does the strategy or process component involve?

The strategy or process component deals with the methods and approaches used for delivering the curriculum effectively, including planning how the curriculum will be taught at various educational levels (e.g., elementary, secondary, or higher education).

What are the different scales of evaluation in curriculum development?

Evaluation in curriculum development can be carried out on a macro scale (overall curriculum evaluation) or micro scale (evaluating classroom processes, teacher effectiveness, and student progress).

What is the purpose of evaluating the curriculum?

The purpose of curriculum evaluation is to assess its effectiveness, ensuring that the learning objectives are met and identifying areas for improvement or adjustments to enhance the education system.

How are evaluation processes conducted during curriculum development?

Evaluation begins during the planning phase, where curriculum documents are reviewed to ensure they meet student needs. It continues through the teaching process, including formative assessments, and culminates with an evaluation of the overall impact and long-term effects.

Why is it important for all components of the curriculum to work in harmony?

It is crucial for all components of the curriculum to work in harmony because if one component is deficient, it will affect the others, potentially leading to ineffective curriculum implementation and failure to achieve educational objectives.
