science development, and negative phenomenon. Tyler 1949 suggest that a rational curriculum is develop by first
identifying goals and objectives, then listing, organizing and grading the learning experiences, and finally, finding means for determining whether the goals and
objectives have been achieved. The latest issues currently heating the climate of education in Indonesia
was the declaration of the implementation of Curriculum 2013 which is known as Scientific Approach, K13 for both primary and secondary educations. The
curriculum is the eighth curriculum that has ever been implemented in Indonesia. Before Curriculum 2013, Indonesia implemented the 1954, 1964 with revision
in 1968, 1975, 1984, 1994 with revision in 1999 curriculum, Curriculum Based Competence CBC in 2004, KTSP. It seems that the changes of
curriculum in Indonesia happen every ten years. It shows that the changes of curriculum are simply due to the change of the Minister of Education in the
cabinet. This opinion is, of course, not absolutely right. There must be rationale behind this. The changing of the previous curriculum KTSP into Curriculum
2013 also has some reason. Curriculum 2013 is a curriculum base on competence. Curriculum base on
competence is outcomes based curriculum that focused on student competence achievement that constructed in SKL. However, curriculum 2013 is different in
Standard content. There are no significant changes in curriculum 2013, just in the school and teacher administrative.
Curriculum 2013 is developed to improve and balance soft skill and hard skill of the learners, such as affective skill, skill, and knowledge.
At the first, Many teachers are still confuse in implementing the curriculum of KTSP and it is too many instruments that the teachers do to complete the
teacher administrative, but recently, teachers almost enjoy the KTSP Curriculum, governments change it into curriculum 2013. Teachers and school have to adapt
with new concept of curriculum. In academic year of 20132014, curriculum 2013 has been trying out in
some school as a pilot project. It indicates that this curriculum is not ready yet to replace KTSP Curriculum
In 2013 curriculum, curriculum is begun by determined graduate competence standard base on the students’ preparation, education goals, and
public demand. In curriculum 2013, graduated competence include affective competence, skill, and knowledge.
There are some methods in learning process. These methods are scientific approach, learning models, authentic assessment, and book analysis.
These methods are different with the KTSP, especially in teacher, and school instrument. We have more specific in teaching and evaluate the student outcome.
