The government has built a clinic of teaching-learning consultation that can be accessed directly or by online through the internet. The clinic has become a good
program and must be used by teachers in order to understand easily the implementation of Curriculum-2013 Faridah Alawiyah. 2014.
Based on the data obtained from the interview sheet, the constraints faced by chemistry teachers in implementing Curriculum-2013 in terms of 4 aspects,
socialization of Curriculum-2013, preparation of lesson plan, chemistry learning process opening activity, core activity, closing activity, and evaluation of chemistry
teaching-learning based on Curriculum-2013, are obtained as follows.
1. Socialization of Curriculum-2013
The first constraint in the socialization of Curriculum-2013 is that some teachers haven‟t followed the socialization of Curriculum-2013. It is quite unfortunate since
socialization of Curriculum-2013 plays an important role in the success of Curriculum-2013 meaning the success of chemistry learning. Teachers who have not
followed the socialization are due to personal reasons of each teacher. The second constraint is that socialization of Curriculum-2013 is already very late
due to the implementation of Curriculum-2013 has been running. The government through the implementation of Curriculum-2013 strategy is to exercise Curriculum-
2013 to some particular school while socialization of Curriculum-2013 goes beside. It is quite erroneous regarding of the many changes to the Curriculum-2013 from Unit
Level of Education Curriculum that needs to be delivered in phases and takes a long
56
time. Furthermore, the implementation of Curriculum-2013 requires a long time process but less time provided by the government.
Regardless to these constraints, some teachers said that the direction of Curriculum-2013 has been running well and quite clear through the training of
Curriculum-2013 in the schools and institutions .
2. Preparation of Lesson Plan
The first constraint in the preparation of lesson plan mentioned by senior high school chemistry teachers in Sleman regency is that some teachers still do not know
the lesson plan format of Curriculum-2013. This is possible because there are some teachers who have not followed the training of Curriculum-2013.
The second constraint related to the preparation of lesson plan is that some teachers have difficulty to link among Competency Standard of Graduates, Core
Competence, and Basic Competence. Teachers also have difficulties in choosing the activity of observing, asking, gathering information, associating, and communicating.
Furthermore, teachers have difficulties to select appropriate methods and teaching- learning strategies in chemistry teaching-learning based on Curriculum-2013
syllabus, it is due to the order of the subject matter which is not the same with Unit Level of Education Curriculum so there are some conditions of subject matter that are
not fulfilled. Technical constraints faced by teachers in term of preparation of lesson plan are
that too many attachments should be included in the lesson plan of Curriculum-2013, chemistry books that follow the model of Curriculum-2013 is currently not available
57
so that the subject matter was taken from the book of Unit Level of Education Curriculum model. In addition, some teachers in preparing lesson plan at the training
of Curriculum-2013 are still lacking in self-awareness to make their lesson plan independently and mostly copying other teachers.
On the other hand, there are also some teachers who do not have any constraint in preparing lesson plan based on Curriculum-2013, and still be able to follow the
changes of the lesson plan format.
