commission to educate Indonesian people. As one of the government effort
to make it come true, the Indonesian government in Constitution Republic
of Indonesia of 1945 article 31, verse 3 stated that the government will
design one national education system. Conceptually, education system or
curriculum is a respond of the society need in a country to develop their
young generation. While according to Constitution Republic of Indonesia
of 2003 stated that curriculum is a program and regulation about the aims,
content, material, and methods that is used as the basic of teaching and
learning process to achieve the objectives of the study in each level of
education (Permen No 69 tahun 2013).

b. Theoretical Foundation
Curriculum 2013 is developed based on the theory of education
based on standard-based education and the theory of competencybased curriculum). Education based on standard-based curriculum is
education that stated the quality minimal result in each curriculum.
The national standard that is stated as the alumnus competence
standard is described such as the content standard, process standard,
alumnus competence standard, educators standard, instruments
standard, finance standard, and assessment standard (PP No 19 Tahun
2005). Therefore, the competency based curriculum is designed to
7
give the wider experience for the students to develop their ability to
behave, enrich their knowledge, be competent, and to act.
Curriculum 2013 used some theories, such as the teaching by the
teacher (taught curriculum) focus on the process and is developed in
teaching and learning process at school. While the direct experience of
the students (learned curriculum) is appropriate with the background,
characteristics, and the students ability. The individual direct
experience becomes the result of their study for themselves, while the
result of their study becomes the result of curriculum.

foundation and juridical foundation in education of a nation. The

- Constitution No. 17 of 2005 about national long term
development.

5,7%, 5,5%, 6,3%, 2008: 6,4%. The economic growing have to be
improved so that is can produce the creative young generation. It can
be happened because of the implementation of curriculum in each
level of education.

economic potential, there will be a disintegration. Therefore, the
8
- The result is the students can improve their ability to be a better person (soft
skill) and have competency and knowledge for their life (hard skill) in
balance.

structure, but the students have to know how to apply it for communication in
their daily life. Here the example of teaching English activity by using curriculum

enough for them to practice their English.
