Vol. 2 No. 2 (2023): Proceedings of Konferensi Pendidikan Internasional (KOPI)
Konferensi Pendidikan Internasional (KOPI, or in English, The Conference on International Education) is a remarkable platform where scholars, educators, and policymakers gather to delve into the pressing issues and emerging trends in the field of education. In response to the diverse challenges faced in the realm of global education, the Faculty Teacher Training and Education, Universitas Muhammadiyah Jember, takes great pride in hosting the esteemed event, known as Konferensi Pendidikan Internasional (KOPI), under the theme "Curriculum Development: Retrieval or Restoration."
In recent years, the world has witnessed a multitude of phenomena affecting education, stemming from various transitions in health, economy, and other domains. The repercussions of these transitions have profoundly impacted teaching and learning across all levels of education, from the foundational to the advanced (Donnelly & Patrinos, 2022). Specifically, within Indonesia, the Ministry of Education's data reveals a significant loss in literacy learning for a period of six months and numeracy learning for five months. It is estimated that many schools continue to grapple with learning setbacks that surpass the aforementioned average. In light of these circumstances, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbudristek) issued a policy in 2022 to implement emergency and prototype curricula as part of the recovery process. Consequently, the Merdeka curriculum was officially implemented shortly thereafter.
