Abstrak

This study aims to describe the influence of the Independent Curriculum on the learning achievement of students in class X of Computer and Network Engineering at SMK Negeri 2 Makassar, as well as evaluate the level of satisfaction with the implementation of the curriculum. This study uses an ex post facto method with a quantitative approach and associative data types. The population of this study is students of class X TKJ 1 and X TKJ 2 at SMK Negeri 2 Makassar, with a total sample of 73 students. The data collection technique uses questionnaires and documentation. The data analysis technique uses simple regression and percentage analysis. The results of regression analysis showed that the Independent Curriculum variable [X] had a t-value of 3.130 and a sig of 0.003 < 0.05, which showed a significant influence on student learning achievement [Y]. An R value of 0.355 indicates a moderate correlation, with an R Square of 0.126, indicating that 12.6% of the variation in learning achievement can be explained by this curriculum change. Although there is a positive correlation, the contribution of this variable to learning achievement is not dominant, indicating the existence of other factors that also affect learning achievement. In addition, the results of the percentage test showed that the level of satisfaction with the implementation of the Independent Curriculum was in the "Satisfied" category with an average of 73%, although there was a significant variation in assessment. This conclusion shows that although the Independent Curriculum has a significant positive influence, there is room for further improvement to achieve more equitable satisfaction in various aspects.
