RESEARCH RESULT

1.  Results of Curriculum Review of Economics Education in Senior High School (SMA)

The 2013 Curriculum Manuscripts reviewed for the purpose of input evaluation are obtained from a copy of Permendikbud Number 69 of 2013 on the Basic Framework and Structure of Curriculum of Senior High School / Madrasah Aliyah.

In accordance with the script in question can be listened to that, the rationale of the development of the curriculum 2013 are: (1) Internal challenges related to the fulfillment of 8 national standards of education, and to meet the era of gold generation 2020-2035 (problems of moral decline and character building in accordance with the culture of the nation is not covered); (2) External challenges related to global issues and rapid changes in various areas of life including education; (3) Improvement of mindset that has been considered less precise in education provision (mostly tendentious and not objective); (4) Strengthening of curriculum governance in relation to working procedures teachers, strengthening school manajamen and learning infrastructure facilities (what has been achieved before is good and aspects that are strengthened Less directly related to curriculum issues, because to the granting of autonomy for schools to develop and more urgent manage curriculum and implemented; (5) Strengthening the material in the form of extension and deepening as well as increasing relevance to the needs of learners (for economic education unfulfilled, due to material inclusion, shackled by core competencies that are generally applied to all subjects).

The ideas contained in the characteristics of the 2013 curriculum are very good, but the well-defined characteristics are in fact some grains are not realized in the development of Core Competence (KI) and Basic Competence (KD) which become the reference for teachers to develop, design, learning and evaluating learning outcomes. Viewed from the objectives are listed as follows: “preparing Indonesian people to have the ability to live as individuals and citizens who are faithful, productive, creative, innovative and affective and able to contribute to the life of society, nation, state, and world civilization”. The word "affective" does not indicate adjectives that concern the human condition but is commonly associated with feelings (fear, hatred, resentment, love and so on). It would be better that the word be replaced by "upholding the culture of the nation". Because in the global era and the world competition of Indonesia's human development with the character of a strong nation is absolutely necessary.

Viewed from the side of the curriculum framework, the formulation of the philosophical foundation is described very well, education is rooted in the culture of the nation, learners Is the heir of the nation's culture, education is aimed at developing intellectual acumen and academic arts, as well as education for building a life of the present and the future. The philosophical foundation associated with the culture of the nation should color the various subjects closely with the formation of learners' behavior and the formation of community life characterized in Indonesia, ie subjects in the Social Sciences, Culture and Language.In the subject of clumps, one of them is the subject of Economics. In fact, in the formulation of KD for Economics subjects, the philosophical foundations related to the culture of the nation are not expressly or implicitly, the KD formulated and will color the development of the subject matter of Economics more grounded by the capitalistic, liberalistic and sharia culture. The values of economic culture contained in the 1945 Constitution are used as the juridical basis, less under the formulation of KD subjects Economics at the level of Secondary School.

Based on the structure of curriculum 2013 can be observed KI and KD subjects economy. As is known by reason of keeping the vertical integration of various KD at different grade levels, the KI formula is made equal for all subjects, even the formulas for each class in principle as well almost the same and does not reflect the gradations relevant to the stage development or growth of learners. Formulation of KI covering core competence of spiritual attitudes; Core competencies of social attitudes; Core competencies knowledge; And core competency skills, for each grade can be tabulated as follows:
