<![CDATA[This study aims to examine the relationship between learning theories, approaches, strategies, and instructional models in the context of implementing the Merdeka Curriculum. The Merdeka Curriculum emphasizes student-centered learning, flexibility, and the development of competencies and character. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the interconnection among these four components is essential in the learning process. This study employs a qualitative approach using a library research method by collecting and analyzing various literature sources, including books, academic journals, and official educational documents. The findings indicate that learning theories serve as the conceptual foundation, learning approaches as perspectives, learning strategies as operational plans, and instructional models as concrete implementations in classroom activities. These four components are systematically interconnected and mutually reinforcing. The alignment among learning theories, approaches, strategies, and instructional models is crucial in creating effective and meaningful learning that aligns with students’ characteristics within the Merdeka Curriculum. Therefore, teachers are required to integrate these components appropriately in their teaching practices.]]>
