The implementation of Kurikulum Merdeka presents differentiated learning. Some challenges in implementing differentiated learning are teachers' expertise and insufficient resources. Moreover, the execution of Kurikulum Merdeka at all education levels often perplexes many teachers. Meanwhile, the literature findings indicate that there is still minimal research related to differentiated learning, emphasizing the need for studies on the impact of differentiated approaches. This study aims to explain the implementation strategy of differentiated learning and review its effectiveness in learning Kurikulum Merdeka. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a literature review method. Data is obtained from articles and publications that align with the writing topic. The finding of this study is that differentiation learning is implemented through the differentiation of content, processes, products, and environments. Differentiated teaching, assessment, and learning activities should accommodate diverse student learning styles, interests, and readiness levels. Differentiated learning can be effectively applied to learning. Differentiated learning has a positive effect on learning in terms of learning outcomes and learning processes. Differentiated learning can improve student academic achievement, positively affecting student motivation, participation, independence, learning concentration, self-confidence, and understanding of the material.
