<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the learning obstacles and strategies for improving the quality of learning in Grade III of SD Negeri 40 Madu Sari Village. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach to provide a comprehensive description of the challenges encountered during the learning process and the efforts made to overcome them. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the classroom teacher, students, and the school principal. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results revealed several factors affecting learning quality, including low student concentration during lessons, lack of student participation in classroom activities, reading difficulties experienced by some students, limited learning facilities and instructional media, and challenges in classroom management due to differences in students’ characteristics and learning abilities. To address these obstacles, teachers implemented various strategies, such as providing individual approaches to students, placing less focused students in the front row, giving special assistance to students with reading difficulties, utilizing available learning media, and creating a conducive classroom environment. Furthermore, efforts to improve learning quality can be strengthened through teacher professional development, adequate educational facilities, the integration of educational technology, collaboration between schools and parents, and the implementation of student-centered learning. These findings indicate that continuous and collaborative efforts are essential to create an effective, active, and meaningful learning process in elementary schools]]>
