Abstract:
In the new school year 2022/2023, the Ministry of Education and Culture will begin implementing a new curriculum called the Independent Curriculum. This study aims to describe the literacy skills of PPKn junior high school teachers as a form of their readiness to implement the new curriculum. The case study was conducted in Karanganyar Regency, so the research question raised was how is the literacy ability of PPKn SMP teachers in Karanganyar Regency? The method used is a literacy test referring to the test questions used by the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA). The test was carried out online in coordination with the Karanganyar Regency PPKn Middle School Subject Teacher Consultation (MGMP/ Musyawarah Guru Mata Pelajaran). Out of a hundred teachers, 87 people entered the data and completed all the questions. The results show that the literacy skills of PPKn teachers in Karanganyar Regency are shallow: 78% fail, 14% are poor and very poor, and 6% are sufficient. Only 2% of teachers were able to achieve good grades, and none of them achieved very good grades. From analyzing the quantitative data, PPKn Karanganyar Regency teachers must still need help to be ready to implement the Independent Curriculum.
