ABSTRACT
This study was carried out to investigate the perception towards the school
based curriculum implementation among English teacher at secondary school in
Batam. By focusing on the knowledge, understanding and application to School
Based Curriculum. Knowing what level of knowledge, understanding and application
are correlated with the teacher’s perception to SBC. 30 English teachers were chosen
purposively in this study. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected in this
study. The instruments in data collection are questionnaire and semi structured
interview. Results from the findings showed that overall mean for the teacher’s
perception to SBC implementation is 3.11, for teacher’s perception to school based
curriculum in the term of teacher’s knowledge is 3.13, for teacher’s perception to
school based curriculum in the term of teacher’s understanding is 3.19 while the
teacher’s perception in term of teacher’s application is 3.00. The findings turn out to
be that the level of knowledge, understanding, and application of English teacher to
the implementation of School Based Curriculum are in high level. There was no
difference among the teachers toward these variables in term of gender. The
knowledge, understanding, and application of English teacher to the implementation
of School Based Curriculum also show a positive and significant relationship.
However, in interview, certain obstacles are still found in the implementation of the
school based curriculum, related to teacher’s role in it. Being unable to arrange
learning material that fits one teaching-learning period, unable to create various
lessons task, lack of school facilities that support the SBC, and unmotivated students
are those which can bring constrains to teachers in implementing school based
curriculum in their classroom.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
The policy to change curriculum in Indonesia from 1994’s curriculum to
School Based Curriculum is the efforts of government to improve and increase the
quality of education, many innovative programs took place in education reformation
era. Education reformation is the education reconstruct in improving the relationship
between school and its environment and with the government, developing and
planning of the managerial system and empowering the teacher’s competency.
Competency is a set of intelligence activity which is full of responsibility
should be owned by a teacher to be considered able to do the task on the certain field.
The characteristic of intelligence should be shown as a skill, accuracy and the
success in behave. The responsibility characteristic meaning that a teacher should be
good behave and do the right thing in science ,technology and also ethics. Depdiknas
states that Competency is knowledge, skill and basic values that reflected in the habit
to think and to behave ( Abdul Majid, 2007 )
The success in implementing curriculum is really influenced by the ability of
teachers who will implement and actualize the curriculum. The teacher’s competency
mainly related to the knowledge and abilities. Often the fail in implementing
curriculum is caused by less of the teacher’s competency on knowledge, skill and
ability to understand the task that they should do. This condition showed that the
curriculum will go into its function on how it is done at school., especially at
teaching and learning process in the classroom.
The change of curriculum also give the effects to school itself, teachers,
students, parents and also the stake holder directly or indirectly. So that the
readiness of all element is very important in order not to be constraints during
implementation. It is important of considering wide range of conditions in
implementing curriculum change, of matching innovation with the realities of school
teacher’s perspectives and abilities, and the prevailing social climate. Although it
will give an opportunity for teacher to formulate a curriculum for a classrooms,
however, teacher are often reluctant to develop a curriculum and put it into practice
for several reason. They are constrained by lack of time, and heavy teaching load ,
and the teacher might perceive a resistance to change from parents, peers, or a
principal.
It is important to develop and to increase teacher’s image especially for the
teachers who graduated from Teacher’s training Institute with the certification of
Diploma 1,2 and 3, the lack of their performances are because of lack of time, in the
training, the environment influences the work relationship, the lack in mastery
learning material with what they have to teach to students, and the lack of facilities
for the teachers in the remote areas ( R. Soeprapto Suraji, 2008 )
Most curriculum innovation don’t affect a single classroom, but an entire
school or school region.. Without knowledge, understanding and ability to apply the
new curriculum and also without the mean for developing shared norms and goals ,
teachers are more interested in planning for their own classroom rather than for the
entire school or school region. Hence, it will be difficult to effect school system’s
curriculum revision through teacher initiation.
Nowdays many schools in the level SMA/SMP needs proper and professional
teacher, through the three aspect ,cognitive, psychomotor and affective, it has to be
able to prove the picture of proper teacher related to the knowledge and attitude
that they have..
1.2 Background of Study
School based curriculum is the operational curriculum arranged and
implemented by each school in Indonesia .It consist of School goal, Structure and
Content of school curriculum, the Education calendar and Syllabus (BNSP,2006)
The implementation of school Based Curriculum needs the support from skillful and
qualified educators or teachers, in order to awaken the work motivation and be able
to empowering local autonomy. That’s why each school has high responsibility to
develop their own creativity in implementing curriculum.
School Based Curriculum is developed to give a chance for each school to
develop their syllabus and manage the resources by allocating the prior needs and
also responds to the needs of local community. Schools also should be able to pay
attention to the student’s different needs, the different desire of educators or teachers,
different situation of environment, the hope of the community that sent their children
to school and the demand of industrial needs to get productive, potential and
qualified workers.
The three factors that influence the implementing School Based Curriculum
(Ashan,1981) are: Curriculum characteristic involving scope of new ideas of a
curriculum and its explanation for the user ; Implementation strategy is the strategy
used in implementation, such as profession discussion, seminary, workshop,
curriculum books distribution and the activities to motivate the implementing
curriculum implementing; and the characteristic the user of curriculum including
knowledge, skill, values, and the attitude of the teacher towards the curriculum , and
also the teacher’s competency to plan curriculum in the subject matters.
On the other side, the three factor influence implementation of the curriculum
are the support of principal of school, support of teachers colleagues and the support
from internal factor derive from the inner of teacher. The most determiner factor is
the teacher, on the other word that the success of the curriculum implementation is
quite determined by the teacher. Teachers have important role in determining
quantity and quality of their instruction, that’s why, they have to think and make a
plan of instruction appropriately to improve learning opportunity for the students and
improving the quality of their instruction.
It demands changes in classroom organizing, the use of teaching aids,
teaching learning strategy even characteristic and attitudes of teacher to manage
teaching and learning process. Teacher plays role as manager in the process of
teaching and learning, acted as facilitator who try to create effective teaching and
learning process so it enable to develop learning material and increasing student’s
ability in mastery subject matter and to achieve the objective of learning.
To achieve those all above, teachers should be able to motivate students to
learn, because students are as main subject of learning , therefore they should be
active involved in learning process. Teaching is the guidance of learning activities,
teaching for the purpose of aiding the pupil learn.( William Burton in Moh. Uzer
usman).
The new paradigm related to school based curriculum implementation is
giving broaden authority to the principal in planning, organizing, implementing,
supervising, and controlling of education at school. The headmaster have to be ready
to receive that authority with its consequences, beside the advance of science,
technology and arts go to schools, the more making complex to the principal’s life.
The principal cannot accept the changes directly but have to think to make changes at
school.
The key for the principal and teachers in order to keep enjoying in the middle
of the new paradigm of education is by understanding position and what is happening
and also the readiness to become part of the different new world. School based
curriculum introduce new model of school management , from centralized to
decentralized to school with the new model of management that is school based
management as well as the curriculum and the evaluation system.
1.3 Statement of the Problem
Teacher is the key of a successful school or education institution. Teacher is
also as sales agent of education institution. The way they teach will influence the
image of a school, that’s why the teacher resource always be developed through
training or other activities which improve the professionalism.
Although the efforts have been done to increase the national education
quality for example through developing of national and local curriculum,
improvement of teacher’s competency, books and teaching aids provision, giving
school’s infra structure and improvement on school management .But There are still
many complaints of the community about unqualified school graduated., morality
decadency, less of the attitudes, less of responsibility, those are the products of
school. And at the end the teachers of school just to be blamed.
Instruction is a process that involving complex activities, teaching is not as
easy at it seemed, someone who has ever learned , he will be able to teach’ that is the
old paradigm. Instruction is the efforts of teachers to create the possibility occurred
during the students learning. Such (Gagne and Briggs ,1979) stated; “ …..instruction
is a set of event which affect learners in such away that learning is facilitated.” So
that the creativities and innovations of teachers are quite needed in the teaching and
learning process. But there are still many problems that teachers facing related to
teaching process such as, how to arrange the instructional planning, how to write
instructional objectives and all about how to develop syllabus and lesson plan. In
order to develop an appropriate teaching and learning’s instruments, it is important
for the teacher to have the knowledge of school based curriculum, understand its
content and be able to apply them in the process of teaching and learning.
