This study aims to map the challenges of implementing Student-Centered Learning (SCL) in senior high schools. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Articles published between 2021 and 2026 were searched in Google Scholar and Garuda on 12 October 2026. Of 428 records identified, 16 articles met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed using thematic analysis. Six themes emerged: teacher competence and readiness (11 articles), student readiness, motivation, and participation (10), limited instructional time (7), learning culture and institutional support (6), classroom and group management (5), and limited facilities and media (4). The review offers a map of SCL challenges at the senior high school level that can inform policy and teacher training. The findings indicate that addressing these challenges requires stronger teacher competence, adequate learning facilities and instructional time, and a more active learning culture in schools.
