Differentiated learning, Community participation, Implementation of the Merdeka CurriculumAbstract
This study examines the impact of differentiated learning implementation and community participation on the Merdeka Curriculum's implementation in elementary schools within Batealit District, Jepara. Using a quantitative approach with a correlational design, data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 178 elementary school teachers. The results show that differentiated learning implementation significantly influences the Merdeka Curriculum implementation, contributing 71.6%, while community participation contributes 67.4%. Simultaneously, both variables contribute 65.6%. These findings highlight the crucial role of both factors in supporting the successful implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum, which aims to create more flexible learning based on students' needs.
