Integrasi Nilai-Nilai Holistik dalam Kurikulum Merdeka Untuk Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini

Abstrak

This study aims to examine the integration of holistic values in the Merdeka Curriculum for early childhood education. The method used is literature review, focusing on four main subtopics: holistic approach in early childhood education, implementation of holistic values in the Merdeka Curriculum, challenges and solutions in integrating holistic values, and evaluation of the success of this integration. The results show that the holistic approach in early childhood education plays a crucial role in the comprehensive development of children, encompassing cognitive, emotional, social, and physical aspects. Implementing holistic values in the Merdeka Curriculum requires pedagogical adaptation and consistent policy support. The main challenges include limited resources and a lack of deep understanding of holistic concepts among educators. Proposed solutions include enhancing teacher training and providing adequate resources. The evaluation of the integration of holistic values shows positive results, with the note that continuous monitoring and adjustments are necessary to ensure long-term success. This study is expected to make a significant contribution to the development of a more comprehensive curriculum that supports the optimal growth of early childhood.
