Perubahan Kurikulum di Awal Era Reformasi (2004-2006) dan Dampaknya terhadap Pendidikan Nasional

Before the Reformation Indonesia used the 1994 curriculum. However, after the reform of the 1994 curriculum it was replaced with the 2004 curriculum because the details of the subjects students used in the 1994 curriculum were too many and the teacher and students were less interactive. After the 2004 curriculum was created, details of subjects used by students were made simpler, fewer and teachers with students more interactive. One of the strengths of the 2004 curriculum is that it develops student-centered learning. However, after using the 2004 curriculum there were some weaknesses so they were replaced by the 2006 curriculum (KTSP). According to (Sanjaya, 2011) there are a number of weaknesses in the 2004 curriculum, including among them the teacher did not try to find out students 'abilities earlier, the teacher never taught students' way of thinking, the teacher did not try to obtain feedback. Therefore, the 2004 curriculum was replaced with the 2006 curriculum (KTSP) which was expected to become a curriculum that could improve the quality of Indonesian educationSebelum terjadi Reformasi Indonesia menggunakan kurikulum 1994. Namun, setelah terjadinya reformasi kurikulum 1994 diganti dengan kurikulum 2004 dikarenakan rincian mata pelajaran yang digunakan siswa pada kurikulum 1994 terlalu banyak dan guru dengan siswa kurang interaktif. Setelah dibuat kurikulum 2004 rincian mata pelajaran yang digunakan siswa dibuat lebih sederhana, sedikit dan guru dengan siswa lebih interaktif. Salah satu kelebihan kurikulum 2004 adalah mengembangkan pembelajaran yang berpusat pada siswa. Namun, setelah digunakannya kurikulum 2004 terdapat beberapa kelemahan sehingga digantikan dengan kurikulum 2006 (KTSP). Menurut (Sanjaya, 2011) terdapat beberapa kelemahan kurikulum 2004, yaitu diantaranya seperti guru tidak berusaha untuk mengetahui kemampuan siswa lebih awal,  guru tidak pernah mengajar cara berfikir siswa, guru tidak berusaha untuk memperoleh umpan balik. Oleh karena itu, kurikulum 2004 digantikan dengan kurikulum 2006 (KTSP) yang diharapkan menjadi kurikulum yang dapat meningkatkan mutu pendidikan Indonesi
