, “Curriculum is the total effort of the school to going about desired outcomes in school and out-of school

, “A curriculum is a written document which may contain many ingredients, but basically it is a plan for the education of
pupils during their enrollment in given school” as cited in Hidayat, 2003, p.21. Olivia 2009, “Curriculum is everything that goes on within the school, including
extra- class activities, guidance, and interpersonal relationships” p. 3. From those

the pilot project” as cited in Jakarta Globe. Schools that have implemented the 2013 Curriculum since 2013 are encouraged to continue it, while those which are
still new are allowed to revert back to the previous curriculum. According to Hidayat 2003, “Orientation of 2013 Curriculum is the increase and the balance
among attitude, skill and knowledge” p.113. In the end, the students are expected not only good at their intellectual, but also good at their emotion, social,
