The 2013 Curriculum-Based Learning Evaluation at Vocational High Schools in Yogyakarta Special Region

Abstract

The applying curriculum in Indonesia is currently the 2013 Curriculum that has been used at all levels of education (The Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia No. 60 of 2014). The purpose of the 2013 Curriculum in general is to prepare Indonesian people to have the ability to live as individuals and citizens who are faithful, productive, creative, innovative, and affective and contribute to the lives of the society, nation, and world civilization (Mulyasa, 2013: 7). Regarding these changes, the implementation of the 2013 Curriculum in Vocational High Schools (VHSs) uses the scientific approach (The regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia No. 103 of 2014). In addition, it has been understood that the implementation of learning itself can serve as thecrucialaspect in assessing the success of learning. Because no matter how good the curriculum is made, unless the teacher properly carries out the learning in accordance with the existing curriculum, the curriculum will not run well. This is because the curriculum and its learning process are two inseparable things even though they are in different positions.
