Independent learning (Merdeka Belajar) is the latest discovery in the field of Early Childhood Education. Institutions, teachers, and students have the flexibility to organize their learning activities when they have the freedom to learn. For PAUD teachers, the problem of learning independence is a matter of the ability to communicate and adapt to changes in the world of education. This study aimed to analyze the concept of an independent learning curriculum. This study uses qualitative methods, data sources from journals, research reports, scientific articles, etc. The data collection technique in this study uses source triangulation and technical triangulation. The data analysis technique in this study used SWOT analysis. The author's study results in the concept of Independent learning in PAUD is Freedom to Play. The idea is child-centered, and so far, learning is mostly teacher-centered. The characteristics of the curriculum are children. Teachers can develop their learning themes that will be implemented and efforts to increase creativity in learning based on their relationship with independent learning. Therefore, the learning process can provide free space for educators and students to be more creative in learning. This study found that independent learning gives schools the flexibility to determine learning materials that aim to develop better students.
Implementation of Early Childhood Education faces many problems in the learning system. Just as the lack of creativity and progress of educators, as well as educational game devices that are less supportive, so the learning system does not encourage the ability of students to innovate and think higher. The research objectives are learning management, and implementation of STEAM content made from Loose Parts. The research used descriptive qualitative method. Research data sources include primary and secondary sources. The research instrument, data collection using observation, interview, and documentation techniques. Then the data is analyzed through the stages of data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusions. The results of this study that the management of STEAM content learning with Loose Parts : planning the form of learning for RPPS, RPPM, RPPH, preparing Loose Parts . Organizing teaching tasks, teachers allocate learning materials. Implementation starts from the introduction, core activities, closing activities. Assessment in the form of performance, observation, conversation. Implementation of early childhood learning with STEAM content made from Loose Parts : applying all stages of play by paying attention to playing strategies, cleaning, storing things, strategies to develop early childhood creativity. The activity plan is adapted to the needs of the child and takes into account the principles of PAUD learning
