DPPAD Papua : Konsep Kurikulum Darurat Sudah Dijalankan Tiga Bulan Lalu

Dinas Pendidikan, Perpustakaan dan Arsip Daerah (DPPAD) Provinsi Papua memastikan sudah lebih dulu menerapkan konsep sistem kurikulum darurat, sebelum diterbitkan oleh Mendikbud Nadiem Makari.

Kepala DPPAD Papua Christian Sohilait bahkan menyebut konsep itu sudah diterapkan di seluruh bumi cenderawasih sejak tiga bulan lalu.

“Memang kurikulum darurat belum (secara resmi) diaplikasikan di Papua. Tapi apa yang diputuskan oleh Kemendikbud, sebenarnya sudah dilakukan oleh kita di Papua, hanya belum ditetapkan secara formal saja,” terang ia di Jayapura, Rabu (26/8/2020).

Ia jelaskan, para guru di Papua sebelumnya telah membuat satu konsep materi pembelajaran dengan memuat tiga hal utama. Pertama, seluruh materi yang disajikan utuh dari awal sampai akhir dengan seluruh isi termuat.

Kedua materinya disampaikan secara cepat dan dapat diterima dengan baik oleh siswa. Ketiga, setiap materi yang disajikan nyata serta dapat diterima dengan kondisi saat ini.

Materi yang disajikan itu pun mendapat pengawasan langsung dari DPPAD Papua dibantu instansi terkait kabupaten dan kota. Kendati demikian, jika diamanatkan secara aturan maka maka konsep kurikulum darurat bakal diformalkan.

“Sebab yang terpenting adalah di masa pandemi ini semua anak sekolah mendapatkan materi pembelajaran,” pungkasnya.

Sebelumnya, Mendikbud Nadiem Makarim menerbitkan kurikulum darurat untuk berbagai jenjang pendidikan atau dalam kondisi khusus.

Kurikulum darurat ini memberikan kebebasan bagi sekolah memilih kurikulum yang sesuai. Kurikulum ini disesuaikan dengan keadaan dan juga kebutuhan pembelajaran siswa. 

Sekolah pada kondisi khusus dapat memilih dari tiga opsi kurikulum dengan tetap mengacu pada kurikulum nasional, menggunakan kurikulum darurat, atau melakukan penyederhanaan kurikulum secara mandiri.

The Department of Education, Library and Regional Archives (DPPAD) of Papua Province confirmed that it had first implemented the concept of an emergency curriculum system, before it was published by Minister of Education, Nadiem Makari.

The head of DPPAD Papua Christian Sohilait mentioned the concept has been applied in Papua since three months ago.

"Indeed the emergency curriculum has not been (officially) applied in Papua. But the Ministry of Education and Culture has decided and we have already done it in Papua, but it has not been formally determined," he explained in Jayapura on Wednesday (August 26, 2020).

He explained that teachers in Papua have previously created a concept of learning materials with three main things. First, the entire material is presented intact from beginning to the end containing all concepts. Second, materials are delivered quickly and received by students well. Third, any material presented is real and acceptable under current conditions.

The material presented was also supervised directly from DPPAD Papua assisted by the relevant district and city agencies. Nevertheless, if it is followed by rules then the concept of emergency curriculum will be formalized.

"The most important thing all schools should get learning materials during this pandemic," he concluded.

Previously, Minister of Education Nadiem Makarim published an emergency curriculum for various levels of education or under special conditions.

This emergency curriculum gives opportunity for schools to choose the appropriate curriculum. This curriculum is adapted to the circumstances and also the learning needs of students.

Schools under special conditions can choose from three curriculum options while still referring to the national curriculum, using the emergency curriculum, or simplification of the curriculum independently.
