This study analyzes factors inhibiting student learning interest at SD Muhammadiyah Purwodadi, focusing on the teacher’s role and material complexity. A Descriptive qualitative method with an instrumental case study design was employed through data triangulation, including observation of 12 learning sessions, semi-structured interviews with 15 students and 6 teachers, and analysis of Lesson Plans (RPP), The findings reveal: (1) a gap between lesson planning (RPP) and implementation, characterized by lecture-dominated methods despite RPP-designed interactive activities; (2) limited methodological variation, such as the absence of teaching aids, leading to decreased student interest; (3) material decontextualization, particularly in Muhammadiyah Studies and Javanese Language, which fostered perceptions of irrelevance. Recommendations include consistent RPP implementation, contextual teaching method innovation, and phased material simplification to enhance student learning engagement.
