"The Indonesian state implemented a curriculum that has undergone various reforms
and improvements starting from 1947, 1964, 1968, 1973, 1975,1984, 1994, 1997, 2004,
2006, & 2013 the government also passed the Ministry of National Education which could
change back to K 13, & in 2018 there was a revision to K-13 Revision "this opinion
according to (Adrianto et al., 2021). At this moment a new curriculum is also present,
namely the Independent Curriculum, which can be interpreted as learning design that can
provide opportunities for students to be able to study in comfortable conditions (Rahayu,
Rosita, Rahayuningsih, Hernawan, & Prihantini, 2022).
The Merdeka curriculum is very focused on a matter of freedom and creative thinking.
It becomes a strategy that can be elaborated by the Ministry of Education and Culture in
releasing the Independent Curriculum, namely starting a driving school program (Khusni,
Munadi, & Matin, 2022).
There are those who agree with the view (Ainia, 2020) "The teacher is the first subject
who has an important role that can be expected to be a driving force to take a behavior that
can give good things to students". With the Independent Curriculum, namely rearranging a
National Education system in the State of Indonesia, in the opinion of (Yamin & Syahrir,

in education cannot be carried out just to carry out an administrative approach, the question
is that we will carry out cultural transformation (Satriawan, Santika, & Naim, 2021).
Agreed with "A theory about the Independent Curriculum has subsequently been
approved reminding that there is a vision and mission of Indonesian State Education going
forward for the formation of human beings who have quality and are able to compete in all
fields, especially life" (Sibagariang, Sihotang, & Murniarti, 2021). With an Independent
Curriculum on which students can rely, they will be able to develop rapidly with their
potential and abilities that they already have because of the Independent Curriculum to find
learning that is critical, competent, expressive, applicable, varied, and progressive.
"Reforming the independent curriculum requires good cooperation, high commitment,
seriousness and application of reality from all parties, so that the learning profile of
Pancasila is in the hearts of students," according to (Amini, 2020).
The driving school program is an attempt to realize the vision of education in the State
of Indonesia by creating a progressive, independent, self-sufficient, and personable
Indonesian State through the creation of students with a Pancasila ideology. The focus on a
driving school program is the growth of an outcome in holistic student learning which
includes a quality of literacy and numeracy and attitude, starting with the presence of human

The important core of the Free Learning Curriculum is an independence about learning
for students and educators. Freedom of learning has supported the formation of an attitude
