<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the implementation of the group discussion method in learning the Central Bank concept for tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 6 Palembang. The Central Bank material is often considered difficult due to numerous technical terms and abstract concepts, while the Merdeka Curriculum emphasizes active learning. This descriptive qualitative research involved the teacher and tenth-grade students, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that the application of the group discussion method positively contributed to enhancing students' understanding of the role of Bank Indonesia and its monetary control functions. Students found the material easier to grasp after discussions and presentations. However, its effectiveness was not optimal due to uneven student participation; some students remained passive, reluctant to ask questions, and relied on more dominant group members. Therefore, the success of group discussion largely depends on the teacher's management in ensuring equitable contributions and providing guidance to less active students. The method is effective but requires more optimal group management strategies.]]>
