Abstract:
This study is conducted based on the view that the curriculum as a product of the times and a reflection of the values that live in the community should be able to accommodate national and regional interests. Regional interests in this concern are character values and local excellence in Tabalong Regency. One of the ways that can be used to accommodate those interests is through curricular internalization, extracurricular activities, and a hidden curriculum making. The results of this study show that the implementation of the vocational curriculum in Tabalong Regency is generally carried out with the principles of integrated, relevant, continuous, and applicable. Character building is carried out in curricular activities (planned and listed in curriculum documents), extra-curricular (being part of supplements or coaching outside the provisions of the national curriculum but supporting the implementation of the national curriculum).
