ANALYSIS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMPETENCY WRITING PROCEDURES: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF KTSP (2006), K13 (2013), AND MERDEKA (2022) CURRICULUM DOCUMENTS ON INDONESIAN LANGUAGE SUBJECTS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN INDONESIA

Abstract

This study analyzes the evolution of the competence of writing Indonesian procedural texts in elementary schools through a comparative study of the curriculum documents of the 2006, K13 2013, and Merdeka Curriculum 2022 using the thematic content analysis of Miles and Huberman (1994). The primary sample includes SK KD 2006, Permendikbud 37/2018 KI-KD K13, and CP phase A-C Merdeka, extracted from 28 relevant KD/CP grades 1-6. The results showed that the competence of writing procedures developed from simple local procedures in KTSP ("instructions on how to make"), to a scientific structure with standard vocabulary in K13 (KD 4.6), and finally to the integration of causality and cultural norms in the Independent Curriculum phase B-C. The teaching approach evolved from memorization to scientific cycles and authentic projects, while assessment shifted from summative to differentiatory formative. The implications of this transition suggest that teachers need to adapt from class-specific KD to CP phases. The findings of this study strengthen the paradigm of the adaptive curriculum of Merdeka Belajar which aims for functional literacy in elementary schools.
