Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in instilling religious values in fifth-grade students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah NU Metro. The study focuses on learning flexibility, project-based learning, strengthening the Pancasila Student Profile, the use of formative and diagnostic assessments, and differentiated learning. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach through observation, interviews with teachers, and documentation of learning activities. The findings indicate that learning flexibility allows teachers to adjust methods and materials according to students’ abilities and interests, while project-based learning encourages active student engagement in the practice of worship and moral conduct. Strengthening the Pancasila Student Profile and the use of formative and diagnostic assessments support the development of students’ religious, social, and cognitive character. Additionally, differentiated learning ensures that each student receives learning experiences in accordance with their learning pace. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the Merdeka Curriculum effectively supports the holistic internalization of religious values, shaping students to be religious, critical, creative, and morally upright, while fostering independence and active participation in the learning process.
