Abstract
The implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka introduces a new paradigm in Indonesian education by emphasizing learner autonomy centered on students’ interests and potentials. However, such freedom must be balanced with the cultivation of character values to ensure that education is not solely focused on academic achievement but also on the development of noble character. This study aims to describe the impact of the Kurikulum Merdeka on students’ learning character at MI Darussalam Gondekan Jabon, Jombang. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed using a case study design. Data collection techniques included observation, in-depth interviews, documentation, and open-ended questionnaires involving teachers and students from Grades IV and V. The research was conducted over five months. The findings indicate that the implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka has had a positive impact on students’ learning character, as reflected in the improvement of responsibility, honesty, discipline, cooperation, and respectfulness. Instructional models such as project-based learning, collaborative learning, thematic-contextual learning, and the Projek Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila (P5) have proven effective in shaping student character. Teachers played a central role as role models, habit facilitators, and direct character mentors. The study concludes that the Kurikulum Merdeka can serve as an effective vehicle for developing students’ learning character when implemented contextually and in a balanced manner. The findings imply the need for teacher training programs integrated with character education to ensure the comprehensive success of the curriculum.
