An effective learning process in the classroom involves increasing the ability to understand and apply concepts. Learning strategies play a crucial role in realizing this goal, becoming the main focus in efforts to improve the quality of education. The goals of modern education involve developing the ability to understand and apply concepts, producing individuals who are not only skilled in knowledge but also able to apply these skills in everyday life. In addition, the application of knowledge becomes essential, where learning is not only about receiving information but also about the ability to apply knowledge in real contexts. Learning strategies that focus on application help students develop practical skills that can be used in a variety of situations. Analysis of learning strategies is carried out by considering their relevance to the curriculum and support for learning styles. Relevant research results from 12 articles have been analyzed to gain an in-depth understanding of the most effective learning strategies. Based on the results of the analysis, several learning models such as Conceptual Understanding Procedures, Teams Games Tournament, and Blended Learning have been proven to be effective in increasing concept understanding. This research highlights the role of learning strategies in improving the ability to understand and apply concepts at the educational level.

This journal research aims to see the implementation of teacher perceptions in curriculum development. This research uses quantitative research by collecting structured data through measurement instruments such as questionnaires. From the results of observations through questionnaires or systematic observations regarding this curriculum change, first, this curriculum change has an effect on learning styles, for example, if previously teachers only relied on books and blackboards when teaching, now it is all digital and of course this also makes it easier for teachers to teach and makes it easier for students to receive material from the teacher and can also influence learning models or methods. Meanwhile, changes to the curriculum can improve the quality of education. With this curriculum change, there are also challenges faced by schools, one of which is that teachers need to be prepared to utilize technology effectively in the learning process and also how to implement it. So, in conclusion, this curriculum change is indeed important but must be adjusted to the curriculum and current developments. In accordance with research that the author observed, schools currently prefer the Independent Curriculum
