Yansyah, Fikri (author), Dwintan, Dini Aulia (author)

Employing social capital theory as its framework, this study aims to investigate teachers’ understanding, perspectives, and level of implementation of curricula among teachers in Indonesia to identify embryonic inequalities and disadvantaged groups resulting from such policy practices. Through semi-structured interviews conducted in group settings, ten teachers’ voices were analysed using thematic analysis. The findings highlight the significant impact of low social capital among rural teachers on their grasp, perspectives, and implementation of curricula, in turn affecting student performance. Further, the study points to rural teachers and their students as vulnerable demographics affected by policy implementations, underscoring the imperative for policy reform.

Abstract

Z uporabo teorije socialnega kapitala kot okvira je cilj te študije raziskati učiteljevo razumevanje, perspektive in raven izvajanja učnih načrtov med učitelji v Indoneziji, da bi identificirali začetne neenakosti in prikrajšane skupine, ki so posledica takšnih političnih praks. Skozi delno strukturirane intervjuje, ki smo jih izvedli v skupinskih nastavitvah, smo s tematsko analizo analizirali glasove desetih učiteljev. Ugotovitve poudarjajo pomemben vpliv nizkega socialnega kapitala med podeželskimi učitelji na njihovo razumevanje, perspektive in izvajanje učnih načrtov, kar posledično vpliva na uspešnost učencev. Poleg tega študija poudarja, da so podeželski učitelji in njihovi učenci ranljiva demografija, na katero vpliva izvajanje politik, kar poudarja nujnost reforme politike.
