According to John Dewey, curriculum is defined as the total learning experiences of the individual. When I interviewed the Head of Curriculum Development in SMA Negeri 1 Majalengka, he said that t
he structure of the SMA / MA (Senior High School) curriculum consists of general subjects A, general subjects B, and academic specialization subjects in group C. Academic specialization subjects in group C are grouped on subjects of Mathematics and Natural Sciences Specialization, Social Sciences Specialization subjects, and Language and Culture Specialization subjects. The characters in each category / group of subjects above are general subjects attended by students in an educational unit in each unit or level of education.
The General Subject Group is part of the secondary education curriculum which aims to provide knowledge about the nation, language, attitude as a nation, and an important ability to develop the logic and personal life of students, society and the nation, the introduction of the physical and natural environment, physical fitness, and regional and national arts and culture. The general subjects group are group A and group B. Group A is a subject that gives more competence orientation to cognitive and affective aspects while group B is a subject that emphasizes more on affective and psychomotor aspects.
