VOLUNTEER TEACHERS’ EXPERIENCE IN IMPLEMENTING MERDEKA CURRICULUM TO TEACH ENGLISH FOR YOUNG LEARNERS AT SDN 10 PEMULUTAN BARAT
The Merdeka Curriculum has a policy that English subjects is not compulsory to be taught in elementary schools, but this can be considered by the school considering the circumstances and interests. English subjects can be selected according to school readiness. If the school is not ready, it can be integrated with other academic and extracurricular activities by involving the community, school committee, volunteers and/or parental guidance. This study aims to investigate the experiences of UNSRI Mengajar volunteer teachers from the English Education Study Program of Sriwijaya University in teaching English for young learners in the implementation of Merdeka curriculum at SDN 10 Pemulutan Barat, Ogan Ilir Regency, South Sumatra Province. A case study with qualitative methods was applied in this study. The data collection methods used were Observation and Interview. A total of 6 participants participated in observations and interviews. The research findings show the following: first, the motivation of volunteer teachers to join the UNSRI Mengajar organization is to practice how to teach well and prepare to become a teacher after graduation. Second, the challenges encountered by volunteer teachers in the teaching and learning process include a lack of teaching experience, difficulties in maintaining discipline among students, challenges in capturing students' attention during material explanations, and struggles in creating effective teaching materials. Third, the activities carried out by volunteer teachers during teaching are based on lesson plans that have been made starting from pre activities, main activities, and post activities. Volunteer teachers create interesting teaching strategies such as icebreaking, games, and visual media. Fourth, volunteer teachers regret that the Merdeka Curriculum policy for English subject is not compulsory in elementary school and they also feel that the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in school located in remote area is ineffective.
