<![CDATA[This study aims to explore how teachers adapt to implementing Integrated Science and Social Studies (IPAS) in fourth grade, in accordance with the Merdeka Curriculum. This curriculum integrates Science and Social Studies subjects. The adaptation covers graduate competency standards, content standards, process standards, and assessment standards. A qualitative narrative inquiry approach was employed in this study, conducted in three elementary schools in Wonogiri District. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman model, framed within a conceptual framework based on teacher adaptation. The findings reveal a shift in teachers' thinking and actions in implementing the four aspects of the Merdeka Curriculum's National Education Standards and in conducting IPAS learning aligned with existing standards and policies. Teachers adhere to government guidelines and regulations while demonstrating creativity by combining various approaches and models relevant to the topic and material. Despite progress, challenges remain, such as insufficient attention to students' interests and learning styles in differentiated instruction.]]>
