Abstract

The challenges of 21st-century education require high school graduates to not only excel academically, but also to have strong characters such as critical thinkers and global insight. However, biology learning often still focuses on the transfer of theoretical knowledge and does not optimize the potential for strengthening character. This gap underlies the importance of research on innovative curriculum models. Therefore, this study aims to determine how the implementation of an innovative curriculum can strengthen students' character in biology learning. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with in-depth interview techniques to collect primary data. The key informant was the head of the curriculum division at a private high school in Tangerang. The results showed that the school innovatively integrated the National Curriculum with the International Baccalaureate (IB) framework. In the context of biology, this hybrid model encourages students to become active learners through independent investigation and analysis of global case studies, which directly fosters inquisitive, reflective, and open characters to world perspectives. It is concluded that the combination of the National and IB curricula is an effective strategy to transform biology learning from merely transferring knowledge to a means of strengthening essential characters that are relevant to global demands.
