Merdeka curriculum is a new curriculum from the Ministry of Education and Culture which is a renewal of the previous curriculum and educational changes to realize superior Indonesian Human Resources (HR) with the profile of Pancasila students. Computational thinking is a core skill needed and is considered by experts to be able to support the education sector in the 21st century, therefore computational thinking is part of the independent curriculum. For this reason, this research focuses on analyzing computational thinking in teachers and students in the context of implementing an Merdeka Curriculum. The purpose of this research is to find out, describe and to improve the analysis of computational thinking in teachers and students in the implementation of an Merdeka Curriculum. The method used in this research is the literature study method by identifying based on previous research in various literature sources to be analyzed. This research identified 5 previous journals published from 2022 to 2023. The result of this research is that the integration of computational thinking in the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum has great potential and is an important step to improve the quality of learning or education in Indonesia in order to prepare or give birth to the next generation who are creative, innovative, able to solve problems and can be competitive in the digital era.

This article discusses the learning difficulties experienced by mathematics education students. Learning difficulties are a common challenge faced by students in the learning process, but for mathematics education students, these learning difficulties can have more complex implications. This article aims to identify factors that can cause learning difficulties for mathematics education students, as well as finding effective solutions to overcome these problems. This research uses qualitative methods by conducting interviews and observations of mathematics education students who experience learning difficulties. The research results show that factors such as a lack of understanding of mathematical concepts, anxiety about mathematics, and lack of motivation in learning are the main causes of learning difficulties for mathematics education students. To overcome these learning difficulties, this research recommends an approach that focuses on developing understanding of mathematical concepts, reducing anxiety about mathematics through a more interactive and creative approach, and providing appropriate motivation in the learning process. Apart from that, forming study groups and providing individual guidance are also considered effective in helping students overcome their learning difficulties. It is hoped that this article can provide a deeper understanding of the learning difficulties of mathematics education students and provide recommendations that can help improve the quality of mathematics learning for mathematics education students.
