Education reflects society's ability to produce competent individuals who contribute positively. As times evolve, the education system undergoes transformation to meet modern era demands. Technological and informational advancements influence students' knowledge, skills, and social aspects in completing tasks, encouraging them to be more adaptive. Indonesia has implemented various curricula, with the Merdeka Curriculum being the latest. This curriculum is expected to deepen conceptual understanding and strengthen student competencies in the dynamic global era.

The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum shows variations in assignment forms, including print-based technology, audio-visual, computer, and their combinations. In conclusion, students have a positive understanding and view of various geography assignment forms in the Merdeka Curriculum.
