Abstract

This chapter discusses and analyzes the development of the new school mathematics curriculum in Indonesia. The curriculum is a part of the National Curriculum 2013 that has already been implemented since July 2013. About 6000 schools all over Indonesia were selected. The implementation began at grades 1, 4, 7, and 10. In 2014, the implementation was extended to all grades. Some reasons behind the change in the curriculum are discussed. Furthermore, this implementation of the new curriculum drew on the experience of a team in implementing an innovation in mathematics education, known as the Indonesian version of Realistic Mathematics Education, the Pendidikan Matematika Realistik Indonesia (PMRI). This chapter also presents some activities of mathematics curriculum development in the context of PMRI. The implementation process of the PMRI materials in schools using an Educational Design Research (EDR) method is also presented. This chapter concludes with some remarks on the new school mathematics curricula, the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and PMRI.
