As the Ministry of National Education effectuated 2013 Curriculum in Indonesia the scientific approach or the approach stipulated in the curriculum should be used by teachers all over the country. This approach emphasizes on the students rsquo process of learning rather than making the teacher the center of the teaching learning process. In order to see further and deeper into the beliefs and the practice of this curriculum this study was therefore conducted to investigate teachers rsquo beliefs and practices in implementing the scientific approach based on the 2013 Curriculum specifically by several high school teachers in junior high schools in the Aru Islands Indonesia. This study used a descriptive-qualitative design and involved 5 junior high school teachers from 5 different high schools in Aru who have applied the scientific approach in the learning process in their classrooms. The data in this study was obtained through questionnaires interviews and classroom observations. The instruments used were a questionnaire observation checklist and interview guide for the teachers added with field notes and supplementary documents. The data collection was conducted first by distributing the questionnaire to the teachers continued with the interview sessions conducted for each individual teacher. This was done to gain data related to the teachers rsquo belief about the 2013 Curriculum. Next to gain data on their practice of the curriculum classroom observation was done in each of the teachers rsquo classroom. The results of the data analysis were the description of the beliefs and the practices of those teachers in implementing the scientific approach mentioned in the curriculum. Furthermore the results of this study indicate that all subjects used scientific approach in the learning process in their respective classroom.

However some subjects were not able to apply all of the steps in one meeting. Furthermore the teachers also experienced several obstacles in implementing the scientific approach such as limited time allocation different abilities of the students and inadequate facilities especially the Internet text books and others. In conclusions the five junior high school teachers involved in this study use scientific approach in their teaching. However some obstacles were found in implementing several steps of the scientific approach such as the limited time allocation the various abilities of the students and inadequate facilities. The results of this study can be used as material for reflection and evaluation for the local government of Aru Island. Related to the policy for teachers in Aru to apply the 2013 curriculum in their classrooms particularly the scientific approach the government and policy makers have to pay attention to the specific condition of schools in that era. For instance the government could give better facility of Internet access for teachers to find teaching materials and sources. Next the government should also provide the teachers and students with special textbooks that match with the students rsquo ability. It is important to remember that the students rsquo ability in Aru cannot be compared with the national standard. Thus they need special treatment. Furthermore teachers should also be given more trainings workshops and seminars to be able to improve their teaching competence. More importantly the government should also allow teachers to experiment in their own teaching in order to match with their students rsquo ability and the condition of their classrooms.
