Differentiated learning is a key approach in the Independent Curriculum (Kulum Merdeka), aimed at meeting the unique learning needs of each student. This approach is designed to address variations among students, including their academic abilities, interests, learning methods, and readiness to receive lessons. This article aims to investigate the understanding, intent, and application of differentiated learning in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) subjects in schools, and their relationship to the spirit of the Independent Curriculum. Through a literature review and descriptive analysis, this study reveals how Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers can create adaptive learning experiences by tailoring materials, stages, and learning outcomes to suit student characteristics. The results of this study indicate that the use of differentiated learning methods in PAI not only deepens understanding of religious concepts but also helps develop religious attitudes, independence, and a sense of responsibility as important skills for students. Therefore, the use of differentiated learning methods aligns with the goals of the Independent Curriculum to create meaningful, relevant, and student-focused learning experiences.
