P5 dalam Kurikulum Merdeka: Mengungkap Hambatan di Sekolah Dasar

The Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5) is a program under the Merdeka Curriculum that should be implemented routinely, in a structured manner, and with supportive conditions from all parties involved. This study aims to explore the challenges faced by educational institutions in implementing the P5 program, serving as an evaluation reference for improving educational success. Using a qualitative research method with interviews, this study involves validation and verification from relevant stakeholders and educators who directly experience the situation in the field. The data collected is based on direct communication with teachers and field observations, which are then analyzed and presented in a descriptive format. The findings reveal several significant challenges that affect the effectiveness of the P5 program, including issues related to understanding and implementation, as well as inadequate infrastructure and facilities. However, this study primarily evaluates the effectiveness and productivity of the Merdeka Curriculum without directly measuring its success. Therefore, further in-depth research is recommended to achieve higher validity and a more comprehensive understanding of the program’s impact.
