Abstract

In response to the evolving educational landscape in Indonesia,
this systematic review explores the implementation of the Merdeka
Curriculum at the senior high school level, with a specific focus on the
dynamic interplay between Islamic teachers and the curriculum. The study
aims to shed light on the pivotal roles played by Islamic teachers in
shaping the educational experience within the framework of increased
school autonomy. As these teachers navigate the autonomy granted by the
curriculum, they serve as key agents in imparting knowledge and instilling
Islamic values in students. The research objectives center on investigating
the challenges faced by Islamic teachers, particularly concerning the
delicate balance between religious education and a broader curriculum.
Simultaneously, the study identifies opportunities for innovative and
culturally relevant teaching practices within the Merdeka framework.
Employing a comprehensive literature review, the research contributes
valuable insights for policymakers, administrators, and educators seeking
to enhance the integration of Islamic values in Indonesian senior high
schools. In terms of key findings, the study reveals nuanced challenges in
balancing religious education with broader curricular goals. However, it
also identifies promising opportunities for innovative teaching practices
that align with cultural nuances within the Merdeka Curriculum. These
findings underscore the significance of navigating school autonomy
effectively, especially in the context of Islamic education. In addition, they
emphasize the need for tailored approaches to ensure a harmonious
integration of Islamic values in the evolving landscape of senior high
schools in Indonesia.
