Systematic Literature Review: Obstacles to Learning Science and Technology in the Independent Curriculum in Elementary Schools

IPAS is a combination of Natural Sciences and Social Sciences and is part of the Independent Curriculum at the Elementary Education level in Indonesia. The new Independent Curriculum makes IPAS also a new learning material. This requires educators and educational units to adjust learning patterns to the demands of the independent curriculum. This study aims to explore various obstacles to IPAS learning in the independent curriculum in elementary schools/Islamic elementary schools. The study used the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method by analyzing 32 articles selected through Google Scholar and SINTA which contain information about IPAS learning in elementary schools and grouping them into several groups. The results of the study showed that the obstacles to IPAS learning were divided into 6 groups starting from the largest to the smallest, namely teacher problems in implementing the independent curriculum (53%), application of media and learning methods (19%), teacher and school readiness (13%), student learning difficulties (6%), obstacles and handling of implementation (3%), assessment in the independent curriculum (3%). The research results provide comprehensive information regarding various obstacles to science learning in the context of the Independent Curriculum in Elementary Schools/Islamic Elementary Schools, as well as providing a strong foundation for practitioners and education policy makers in the future to make the implementation of science learning at the elementary school level a success
