Analysis of Curriculum 2004 (KBK) and Curriculum 2006 (KTSP)

Abstract

Curriculum 2004 (KBK) is directed to improve the quality of education by emphasizing learning outcomes and diversity. The process of achieving basic competencies is measured by learning outcome indicators, which vary for each student. While the main purpose of KTSP is to accommodate all the potential that exists in the region and improve the quality of education units in academic and non-academic fields. KTSP also aims to maintain regional culture and keep up with the development of science and technology based on faith and piety. In this research we used a descriptive qualitative approach method, through literature study. This research was conducted with the aim of knowing what differences exist from the 2004 curriculum (KBK) with the 2006 curriculum (KTSP), by looking at several aspects including aspects of characteristics, objectives, competencies, aspects of assessment, and also related roles. The differences in the aspects studied show the approach in the aspects of the two curricula. This research aims to assist the government in choosing a better curriculum for the future. Based on this research, we got the conclusion of advice to the government to make policies in the field of education more mature, adequate socialization, and training to teachers well before making curriculum changes. Because in the end it is the teacher who will deal directly with students to carry out learning.
