This study aims to analyze the level of teachers' understanding at SD Negeri 9 Mamboro in the implementation of the Independent Curriculum for the 2024/2025 school year. The method used is descriptive qualitative research with data triangulation techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation studies. The results of the study show that teachers' understanding of the implementation of the Independent Curriculum is quite good, although it is not even in all aspects. Based on four main indicators, it was found that: (1) teachers began to integrate educational theory with teaching practice, although method innovation is still limited; (2) efforts to adjust learning to the needs of students have been made, but differentiated learning has not been optimal; (3) the creativity of using simple media has been seen, but the use of technology-based media is still limited; and (4) adaptation to changes in education policies shows a positive attitude, but is still faced with technical obstacles and lack of training.
