ABSTRACT

Pradita Amelia Nugraha Ningtyas. K2211069. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF

2013 CURRICULUM IN ENGLISH TEACHING FOR VOCATIONAL

HIGH SCHOOL (A DESCRIPTIVE QUALITATIVE RESEARCH AT SMK

NEGERI 2 SURAKARTA IN ACADEMIC YEAR OF 2015/2016). Thesis.

Teacher Training and Education Faculty of Sebelas Maret University Surakarta.

June 2016.

In term of English learning needs, Vocational High School (VHS) and

Senior High School have their own goals to the students. Since the starting of

2013 Curriculum (C13), it had been decided that English learning policies for

these schools are same. The significance of this study, therefore, is for analyzing

C13 implementation in VHS, specifically about: (1) teachers’ perceptions towards

C13, (2) procedure of English teaching-learning process based on C13, (3)

teachers’ difficulties in implementing C13, and (4) efforts for overcoming the

difficulties. The data were gained from the classroom observations, the interview

of teachers and the representatives of X and XI students’ of SMK Negeri 2

Surakarta, and documents analysis of C13 syllabus, lesson plans and books. To

analyze the data, Miles and Hubermen (1994) model was used.

The findings show: (1) four points considered as teachers’ perceptions of

C13 include: the positive view of C13 implementation due to students’ activeness,

the unmatchable materials on Buku Bahasa Inggris 2013 (C13 book) and

Scientific Approach (SA) steps of syllabus, the need of continuous teacher

training for curriculum comprehension and evaluation, and teachers’ adjustment

of using C13 as they were used SBC such as: learning materials, approach, and

students’ role; (2 a) planning teaching includes: C13 syllabus, C13 lesson plan

that are developed, learning models are based on the materials’ need, C13 book as

main source and worksheet as its additional, b) implementating C13 book,

applying SA, applying three C13 assessment aspects including spiritual and

attitude, role of teachers and students depends on the teachers respectively, c) the

evaluations of unmatchables C13 syllabus and book, less objective of attitude

assessment; (3) C13 implementations’ difficulties: a) unmatchables of: basic

competences’ sequence in C13 book and syllabus, C13 book for VHS, b) lacks of:

time allocation in SA implementation, students’ focus during SA, c) difficulties

of: attitude assessement; (4) efforts to overcame: a) teachers’ correction of basic

competences’ sequences, b) teachers’ reminders for improving the students’ focus.

To conclude, C13 implementation for English in this VHS is based on its policies

despite of the unmatchables learning materials. Another efforts are suggested and

specifically conveyed in this study for the government.

ABSTRAK

Pradita Amelia Nugraha Ningtyas. K2211069. IMPLEMENTASI

KURIKULUM 2013 PADA MATA PELAJARAN BAHASA INGGRIS DI

SEKOLAH MENENGAH KEJURUAN (PENELITIAN DESKRIPTIF

KUALITATIF DI SMK NEGERI 2 SURAKARTA PADA TAHUN AJARAN

2015/2016). Skripsi. Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan Universitas Sebelas

Maret Surakarta. Juni 2016.

Dari kebutuhan belajar Bahasa Inggris, SMK dan SMA memiliki tujuan

sendiri bagi para siswanya. Sejak dimulainya implementasi Kurikulum 2013

(K13), pemerintah memberlakukan ketentuan pembelajaran yang sama untuk

keduanya. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menganalisis implementasi K13 di SMK

khususnya mengenai: (1) persepsi guru terhadap K13, (2) prosedur pembelajaran

Bahasa Inggris berdasar pada K13, (3) kesulitan guru dalam implementasi K13,

dan (4) usaha untuk menghadapi kesulitan tersebut. Data penelitian didapat dari

observasi, wawancara guru dan perwakilan siswa kelas X dan XI di SMK Negeri

2 Surakarta, analisis dokumen K13 berupa silabus, RPP, dan buku. Analisis data

menggunakan model Miles dan Hubermen.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan: (1) 4 persepsi guru tentang K13:

pandangan positif terhadap K13 karena keaktifan siswa dalam pembelajaran,

ketidakcocokan materi pada buku K13 dan langkah-langkah Scientific Approach

(SA) pada silabus, pelatihan mendatang dinilai penting untuk memperdalam dan

mengevaluasi implementasi K13, tiga perbedaan dasar K13 dan KTSP: materi

pembelajaran, pendekatan, dan peran siswa dalam pembelajaran; (2) prosedur

pembelajaran meliputi: a) perencanaan: menggunakan silabus K13, RPP yang

dikembangkan, model pembelajaran berdasarkan kebutuhan tiap materi, buku K13

sebagai sumber belajar utama, dan LKS sebagai tambahannya, b) implementasi:

menggunakan buku K13, menerapkan SA, menerapkan tiga aspek penilaian

termasuk hal keagamaan dan sikap, peran guru dan siswa bergantung pada

masing-masing guru, c) evaluasi: ketidakcocokan buku dan silabus K13, kurang

objektifnya implementasi penilaian sikap; (3) kesulitan dalam implementasi K13:

a) kurang cocoknya: urutan beberapa materi pada silabus dan buku K13, buku

K13 untuk SMK, b) kurangnya: alokasi waktu untuk implementasi SA, fokus

siswa selama proses pembelajaran, c) kesulitan pada: implementasi penilaian

sikap; (4) usaha yang dapat dilakukan dalam menanggulangi kesulitan tersebut: a)

koreksi guru dalam perbaikan urutan kompetensi dasar pada buku dan silabus

K13, b) peringatan dari guru untuk mengembalikan fokus siswa. Sebagai

kesimpulan, implementasi K13 pada pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris di SMK ini

dilakukan sesuai dengan ketentuan pemerintah meskipun terjadi ketidakcocokan

materi pada buku K13. Usaha lain dalam bentuk saran kepada pemerintah.

Kata kunci: Kurikulum 2013, pengajaran Bahasa Inggris, pembelajaran Bahasa
