Key words: English teachers’ problem, implementation of curriculum 2013

Curriculum 2013 has been applied since year 2013. In curriculum 2013,

teacher has a role as a facilitator for the students. Besides that, the students must

be active in learning process. But, in fact many teachers especially the English

teachers still have problems in implementing curriculum 2013, such as the

difficulty in implementation of effective learning by using a scientific approach,

the difficulty of teacher to search books that appropriate with curriculum 2013, the

difficulty in assessment process, the limitation of time in teaching, and the

differences in the abilities of student to understand the materials that are provided

by the teacher.

The objective of the research is to find out the English teachers’ problems

in implementing curriculum 2013 of SMA N 1 Kudus in academic year

2013/2014.

The writer used descriptive qualitative research exactly case study. That

method is used to describe the problems which are faced by the English teachers

in implementing curriculum 2013 of SMA N 1 Kudus in academic year

students and the government. There are 14 kinds of problems that are faced by the

English teachers in implementing curriculum 2013 of SMA N 1 Kudus in

academic year 2013/2014. According to the English teachers, from 14 kinds of

problems there are 11 problems coming from the teachers themselves. Then, 2

problems come from students, and 1 problem comes from the government.

understanding about curriculum 2013, by reading some books which are related to

the implementation of curriculum 2013. Besides that, the students must be active

to express their idea and must be focus in the teaching learning process. The last,

the government should give more attention to the implementation of the

melaksanakan kurikulum 2013, seperti kesulitan dalam menerapkan pembelajrana

yang efektif dengan menggunakan pendekatan ilmiah, kesulitan dalam mencari

buku refensi yang sesuai dengan kurikulum 2013, kesulitan dalam proses

penilaian, pembatasan waktu pembelajaran, dan perbedaan kemampuan siswa

untuk memahami materi yang telah disampaikan oleh guru.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menemukan masalah-masalah yang

dihadapi guru dalam menerapkan kurikulum 2013 di SMA N 1 Kudus Tahun

Ajaran 2013/2014.

Penulis menggunakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif tepatnya studi

kasus.Metode tersebut digunakan untuk menggambarkan masalah-masalah yang

dihadapi guru dalam menerapkan kurikulum 2013 di SMA N 1 Kudus Tahun

siswa dan pemerintah. Ada 14 jenis masalah-masalah yang dihadapi guru dalam

Menurut guru bahasa inggris dari 14 jenis masalah, ada 11 masalah yang berasal

dari guru itu sendiri, 2 masalah berasal dari siswa, dan 1 masalah berasal dari
