Maritime-Related Topics on Natural Science Learning in Independent Curriculum

Abstract

As one of the largest maritime countries in the world, education in Indonesia should be implemented by integrating the maritime context in learning. The maritime context can be integrated into science learning. This research was carried out in September 2023. This research aimed to analyze the essential material in science learning in the independent curriculum and analyze the maritime context that can be integrated into this essential material. This was a descriptive analytical research, with data collection techniques using documentation using the Independent Curriculum Document. The data was analyzed descriptively qualitatively by analyzing science learning outcomes to find essential material and then analyzing the maritime context that could be integrated into this essential material. The research results showed that materials related to biology, physics and chemistry had essential material that can be integrated into the maritime context. This shows that science learning in the independent curriculum can be implemented contextually by integrating the maritime context by linking maritime aspects that are often encountered by students in everyday life.
