Abstract

Learning differentiation is the diversity of learning services in terms of differences in student characteristics. This study aims to provide an in-depth explanation of how different instructions are carried out regarding the four constituent parts (learning environment, content, process, and product). Descriptive qualitative research was used for this study. The data source for this research is Group B (5-6 years) kindergarten educators. Information is collected through observation, interview, and documentation. Data validation with technical triangulation. Methods of data analysis using Miles and Huberman. The findings of this study: (1) indicate that with regard to the learning environment, it appears that the learning environment has not been differentiated, this has been proven in the arrangement of the play environment in each play activity does not have a variety of ways and means of play, (2) in terms of content, children receive material from the teacher’s delivery at the beginning of learning (apperception), children do not get material enrichment when children are playing activities, so that the material that each child gets is the same or does not have diversity, (3) In the process children carry out the same play activities, because each different play activity prepared does not have a variety of ways and tools to play, it’s just that one child with another has different activity achievements, (4) Regarding the products produced by children it looks uniform, because the playing tools and how to play are provided in each activity play does not vary, so that the product produced by each child is the same.
