Abstract

Education as the main foundation in the development of a nation requires joint efforts from various parties to achieve its goals. Independent learning is one of the essential skills in the era of globalization, encouraging students to learn independently, creatively, and critically. This study aims to compare the implementation of independent learning in the primary education curriculum in Indonesia and China. The research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach through a literature review of various scientific sources related to the implementation of independent learning in both countries. The results show that in Indonesia, the Merdeka Curriculum introduced in 2021 emphasizes contextual and project-based learning, giving students the freedom to develop their independence. Meanwhile, in China, independent learning focuses on mastering material individually with the support of technology, where students are required to have high self-management abilities. Although both prioritize the development of independence, the challenges faced in each country are different, particularly related to teacher readiness, infrastructure, and the applied curriculum approach. This study provides insights into the supporting and inhibiting factors in the implementation of independent learning and its implications for educational policies in both countries.
