The lack of interest in learning of grade IV students of SDN Sukapura 2, Cirebon City can be seen from the learning activities that are still dominated by the lack of student discipline such as chatting, teasing friends, and going in and out of class. This study aims to describe the interest in learning of grade IV students in the even semester of the 2024/2025 academic year. Interest in learning is an important factor that can influence the learning process of students in elementary schools. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with observation, interview, and questionnaire techniques. The subjects of this study were 27 grade IV students and class teachers as supporting informants. The results of this study indicate that emotional factors have a major influence on students' interest in learning. Students feel bored with abstract and less interesting material, so students lose focus during learning. In addition, self confidence and fear when answering questions cause student participation to be low. The lack of encouragement and support from parents at home is also one of the causes of students' lack of interest in learning. Based on this study, a more contextual and enjoyable learning approach is needed, as well as collaboration between teachers, students, parents, and schools in order to optimally increase interest in learning.
