Problems in Implementing the Independent Curriculum in Primary School Phase C Science Learning

This research is motivated by the obstacles experienced in learning science at the elementary school level during the implementation of the independent curriculum. This obstacle is considered one of the factors that reduce student learning outcomes. These obstacles can be in the form of obstacles that come from the way teachers teach to the way students receive learning. This research aims to analyze the various problems experienced by teachers and students in learning science. The research was conducted in the form of descriptive qualitative research, and it was conducted on all fifth-grade students at the state elementary school Tersono, which amounted to 19 people as a population. Research instruments are observation guidelines, questionnaires, and interviews. The results revealed that there were several problems experienced in learning science, including the ineffectiveness of the teacher-centered approach during learning and the use of inappropriate learning media. The solution to overcome these problems is for educators to change or adjust the learning approach so that students do not become passive and can choose the right learning media and involve all students.
