CHAPTER V CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

A. Conclusions

Based on the results and discussion of the research, there are some conclusions that can be proposed as follows. 1. The degree of implementation of Curriculum-2013 in chemistry learning in Sleman regency high schools by teachers in terms of socialization of Curriculum- 2013 is high, preparation of lesson plan is high, chemistry learning process is high, and evaluation of chemistry learning is medium with the average score of 64.19, 66.16, 73.72, and 63.58, respectively. 2. There is a significant correlation between socialization of Curriculum-2013 and preparation of lesson plan, chemistry learning process, and evaluation of chemistry learning based on Curriculum-2013. 3. The constraints faced by chemistry teachers in implementing Curriculum-2013 based on the aspects of a socialization of Curriculum-2013 are: some teachers have not followed the socialization of Curriculum-2013, the socialization is too late, the information of the socialization are not clearly and comprehensively given, and every instructors have their own understanding about the curriculum; however, some teachers argue that socialization of Curriculum-2013 is running well. b Related to preparation of lesson plan based on Curriculum-2013: some 61 teachers don‟t know the lesson pan format, some teachers have difficulty to write the parts of lesson plan, and some technical constraints. c Related to chemistry learning process; in opening activity: some teachers have difficulty to make apperception and they think that opening activity is not necessary because of time- consuming. In core activity: some teachers have difficulty to apply the learning strategy written on the lesson plan, out of time, and currently no available text- book for teacher and student in chemistry based on Curriculum-2013. In closing activity: many teachers don‟t have any difficulty but the closing activity is sometimes forgotten because of not enough time. d Related to evaluation of chemistry learning in cognitive assessment: some teachers have difficulty to change the 10 or 100 score to the value of 4 A to D. Related to attitude assessment: some teachers don‟t understand the instruments to conduct attitude assessment; the number of students is too much to be assessed so that it consumes much time and difficult to be done. While related to skill assessment the number of students is too much to be assessed so that it consumes much time and difficult to be done because one teacher must assess so many students in many classes; teachers are also have difficulty to determine the skill specification on a specific indicator and subject matter.
