<![CDATA[This study aims to explore the implementation of the concept of individualistic education at SD Negeri 1 Kerjo Kidul, Wonogiri Regency, as well as the impacts, challenges, and critiques associated with this approach. Individualistic education emphasizes independent thinking, autonomy, and personal potential development, in line with the progressive education theories of figures such as John Dewey and Immanuel Kant. The study adopts a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving interviews with teachers, students, and school staff, as well as direct observations of classroom practices. The findings show that while this approach successfully enhances creativity, critical thinking, and student motivation, the main challenges include unequal access to educational resources and excessive competition among students. The study also highlights the importance of balancing individual freedom with social values, such as cooperation and solidarity, in primary education. Therefore, it is recommended to integrate collaborative approaches in teaching to address existing social challenges.]]>
