Education is a very important factor for the development of a country. Education helps develop and improve skills and improves the quality of life and human dignity. To date, changes have been made to the curriculum. The curriculum is considered a plan developed to facilitate the teaching and learning process which is the responsibility of the school or educational institution and its teaching staff. (Yulia, 2023). Education in Indonesia has undergone curriculum changes 11 times. Starting from after independence until the latest in 2021-2022. This research aims to compare the implementation of the 2013 Curriculum and the Merdeka Curriculum at State Elementary School 064037 and understand the differences between the two in improving the quality of education. The method used is qualitative research with a content analysis and narrative analysis approach. In-depth content analysis is carried out on written and printed information from mass media to identify message characteristics objectively and systematically. Data was collected through interviews and reviewing controversial mass media news. The research results show that the Merdeka Curriculum, which has only been implemented in grades 1 and 4, gives students greater freedom in the use of knowledge, both inside and outside school, and encourages teacher and student creativity. In contrast, the 2013 Curriculum balances soft skills and hard skills in an integrative manner but still places educators as the main assessors of student abilities. Observations show that the Merdeka Curriculum encourages students to play an active role in learning, with educators acting as facilitators. This change in curriculum leads to a more student-centric approach, where students receive active feedback regarding their self-evaluation. These findings confirm that the Merdeka Curriculum promotes more independent and participatory learning compared to the 2013 Curriculum.

Examination and test panscore is an important process in educational evaluation that aims to measure students' understanding and achievement in various areas of knowledge. However, the challenge of ensuring the validity and reliability of tests is often a major concern for evaluation instrument developers. This paper discusses the approach used in the examination and panscorer of the test to improve the validity and reliability of the evaluation results. This approach involves steps such as careful test design, development of quality test items, validity and reliability testing, and analysis of test result data. One of the important aspects of test checks is careful test design. This involves selecting a test format that is appropriate for the purpose of evaluation, as well as the preparation of instructions that are clear and understandable to students. In addition, the development of quality test items is also necessary to ensure that the test can accurately measure the desired knowledge and skills. This process involves thoroughly testing test items to ensure fit with the curriculum and fit with the desired level of difficulty. Once the test is designed and the test items are developed, the next step is to test the validity and reliability of the test. Validity refers to the extent to which a test can measure what it is supposed to measure, while reliability refers to the extent to which a test can produce consistent results over time. This testing can involve gathering data from a variety of sources, including statistical analysis and review by experts in the field. Finally, the analysis of test result data is an important step in understanding the evaluation results. It involves using statistical methods to identify patterns and trends in the data, as well as interpreting test results to make relevant conclusions about student achievement. By using this approach in examination and test pansora, it is hoped that the results of education evaluation can become more valid and reliable, thereby providing more useful information for education stakeholders.
