Abstract
This research aims to understand, elaborate, and analyze issues related to preparation, implementation and assessment of dual curricula at Minor Seminary of St. Francis Xavier Kakaskasen. These curricula refers to the ecclesiastical curriculum, known as the seminary curriculum, and the government school curriculum, i.e. curriculum of 2013. This research uses a qualitative approach with methods of interview, observation and documentation. Research subjects consisted of a rector, a vice rector, a school principal, a vice head of curriculum, a formator representative, a lay teacher representative, a school operator, and four seminarians. Results of this research are described in three main conclusions: (1) The planning of dual curricula in this seminary named separated curricula planning, which is under different management responsibilities. (2) The implementation of the dual curricula in this seminary occurs in a mixed model, called mixed curricula implementation, which is implementation of dual curricula concurrently. (3) In this seminary dual curricula assessment is carried out separately. Therefore it is called separated curricula evaluation. The seminary curriculum made adjustments to the school curriculum. From my discoveries, I proposed that seminary should: (1) maintain good aspects of the way of operating and managing this dual curricula as core profile, (2) ensure the quality of curriculum implementation through integrated school curriculum management and administration, (3) promote the procurement and administrative reform of seminary curriculum documents, (4) increase awareness and management of recreational activities in order to balance the density of studying hours, and (5) revitalize the seminary curriculum regularly and contextually, without eliminating positive practices inherited from material contents of seminary curriculum.
